Review summary

I do not feel like I got what I paid for. If you are trying to take a FAMILY vacation- this isn’t your ship. If you have no kids and all you want to do is sunbathe and drink - this ship is for you.

Embarkation

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Be aware there is just one small pool. It stayed crowded. The arcade is not a arcade. There were like 3 video games and the rest were the money wasting claw machines.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Leon the cruise director was great!! The shows..... not as family friendly as you would think. The epic rock show, a lot of hip grinding, legs spreading wide open and butt slapping. The comedian was suppose to have a a PG version- so I thought that would be family time. He started off complaining about politics. A ten year old doesn’t care!!

Children's Programs

1 out of 5

If you have a toddler - I’m sure the entertainment was great. Anything older - nothing for them to do.

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

The staff worked very hard to make sure the ship was well taken care of.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was a very small room but the beds were comfortable. My only con was the pull down bed blocked the a/c from getting to the main bed. That part was a little uncomfortable.
