Review summary

This 4 night trip was well worth the cost of what we paid. We had an inside Cabin on Deck 9, and it was close to all the restaurants, pool and was very quiet. We love inside cabins as we sleep really well as they are so dark. We will stay on deck 9 again. The food on this ship is (in my opinion) just okay, nothing gourmet or special. The buffet is limited, but we enjoyed the Burger and BBQ restaurants. The Dining room for dinner had great service, but not gourmet quality, and we are not fussy eaters but it was fine for us. We did not buy a drink package, so cannot comment on that. Entertainment was top notch. The 2 shows by the Playlist players were exceptional, and state of the art imagery. I would go back on this ship just to see the shows. I live in Las Vegas, and those shows could go up the entertainment here. We did not enjoy the Piano bar as it was just another Karaoke bar, but all the musicians no matter what venue you are at are excellent. The hot tubs by the mid ship pool were so crowded (with kids) that we did not go in. The cruise line needs to do something about all the kids unsupervised in the hot tubs. However, there is a hot tub in the Adult Serenity area to use. Overall, my husband and I said we would do this cruise again when it is warmer, as January can be chilly when on board. We had an excellent time.

Appreciate your details. Glad you enjoyed your cruise in spite of the children hogging the hot tubs.
