Review summary

We had a great time on our cruise. We were having a family reunion, so the times we spent with our family were great. On a couple of occasions, we were able to have family meetings in quiet meeting spaces on the ship. The shows were good and so were the DJ's. We had a great time and all of the staff went out of their way to take good care of us.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The dining room was nice. The staff was great and the buffet's were good. My only issue was there was not a wide selection of dining choices for dinner and we did not have a seafood night and there aren't any specialty restaurants on board.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We did karaoke, participated in deck parties and the 4th of July celebration on the Lido deck. My daughter went to the fitness center several times. There wasn't a climbing wall nor a basketball court.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The DJ's were great, my wife enjoyed the show she attended, unfortunately the comedians were not very funny.

Children's Programs

My 14 year old son enjoyed the teen camp. We hardly saw him and he met some new friends as well.

Service and Staff

Adi (our cabin steward) was amazing. He took care of our needs and made sure we were comfortable. Our dining staff was very attentive and Shane (Spa) gave me a pedicure and made me feel comfortable and took good care of me.
