Review summary

Had an amazing weekend! My daughter turned 21 the day we disembarked so we were celebrating her 24th the whole weekend and the staff could not have been more accommodating. I tried to add pictures to this review but I'm not sure if they added and in some cases if they did add they may have duplicated. I apologize!

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food we had was really good. I didn't give 5 stars because we just got back from a back-to-back in December on the Elation and both ships were serving the same menus in the main dining room. In addition, the late night snacks were the exact same food every single night of the 3-day cruise and that was a bit disappointing.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Played Bingo (won $100 and Social Wi-Fi). Spent time in the casino and doing scratch offs (My daughter won a second chance at the scratch offs and got more scratch off tickets where she actually won money).

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The only show we went to was the Love and Marriage show and it was a blast! Ryan the cruise director sure knows how to be an emcee.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff was total excellence!!!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean! There were a couple of places on the ship where there was a strange odor and I think it was an overkill possibly on cleaning detergents, but not enough to be bothersome.

Cabin / Stateroom

RetiredRay, thanks for catching my typo. She did turn 21 the day we disembarked and we'd celebrated her 21st the whole weekend not her 24th. Oh my goodness. I think I was so frustrated about getting the pictures added and it not doing it correctly that I was just flustered at that point. Then when I posted it there was only two pictures and they were the exact same pictures. Now I see that all of the pictures are there and several of them have duplicates. I have no idea what happened. All I know for sure is that we had a great weekend and that was what was important!

She turned 21, but what was the daughter’s 24th you were celebrating? Glad it was a fun trip!

I see that it added the same picture twice and did not add any of my other photos. So sorry, I tried!
