Review summary

Last minute booking to escape North Carolina weather resulted in a low fare, good weather, and got a little sun on our winter white bodies. If we had planned for months for a more expensive vacation, would have been a little disappointed

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Ok. Little confusion about luggage to room

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Fresh fruit, salad bar, and omelette good. Anything else cooked was mediocre to unedible

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I wasn’t interested in more than sitting by pool, but a lot available for kids. Did enjoy the fitness center

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Had to stumble upon the entertainment by wandering around the decks. The commercial sales and presentations were pushed, but things like the comedy club we happened on by accident. Partly because the HUB Ap is almost worthless and so much depends on it.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Could not have been better

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Immaculate and interesting layout

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfortable

Ship tip

Have moderate food expectations and go for relaxation, sunshine

Sounds like you needed a cruise buddy to show you the ropes or maybe cruising just isn’t for you

Appreciate your feedback. For future reference, you can get a hard copy of the day’s activities at Guest Services and often at the coffee shop. That way if the HUB is on the fritz, you still know what’s happening.
