Review summary

It was a wonderful experience. Our daughters wedding was beautiful. It was really rocky on the way back. The crew stewards were fantastic. Our only complaint was having to purchase the cheers package without being allowed to pick the days we wanted it. We did not get our moneys worth since we were off the ship for 2 of the days. Hopefully that can be updated.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Drinks were excellent. The hamburgers, pizza and Mexican bars and ice cream were excellent. The buffets were average. The specialty restaurants were good. The breakfast were very good wherever we choose to eat.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Pools were always too crowded to get in. Bingo was fun but I thought way too costly for 3 games.

Entertainment

We loved the piano bar.

Dr. Seuss was a lot of fun, the breakfast was excellent. The towel puppet show was cute and the magician at the dinning room and the Dr. Seuss breakfast was fantastic.

Ship tip

We feel we should of had an option on how many days that we could have purchased the cheers package for a five day cruise. It would have been nice not to have paid for the two days we were off the ship. So we feel you should be able to pick the days for the cheer package.
