Review summary

We had a wonderful time even when we didn't get to go where we planed. I'm thankful the captain kept the ship and the passengers safe. We only had one day of rough seas and even that wasn't too bad. The crew was always helpful and friendly. We loved all the activities and how the crew tried to get everyone involved in the fun. The food was awesome and it was fun trying something new every night. There was always something to do. We enjoyed the comedy club but after the first night we only went to the PG shows. We didn't care too much for the language at the late night. The shows were fantatistic. The performers did an excellent job with a different show almost every night. I think to get a job there the job description has to be "must be perky" because everyone was so happy and entertaining
