Review summary

Only one pool for over 200 people and it is very, very small! I never got in. There are mostly bars and not much entertainment. They had bingo nights, deal or no deal, comedy nights, and trivia nights. Not that exciting. There is a dry water slide and that is about it. Freedom of the Seas was so much better and bigger, but you get what you pay for! Not a lot of time spent at the ports. Therefore, not enough time to enjoy excursions.

Ship tip

If you are looking for real fun, sale another ship, but if your are looking for something chill (but not to swim because you cannot swim in the pool. You can only soak up other peoples dirt), this is the ship for you.
