Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was great. The bar at the club was short staff so it took people a long time to get drinks.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We took advantage of the miniature golf and the spa. The kids definitely enjoyed the pools, Jacuzzi and movies.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Amazing!!! We really enjoyed the cruise director, the performers and the music.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
My oldest made friend and enjoyed his time during the cruise. The younger ones were turned off because there wasn't enough computers or systems to play with.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
It is half and half because some were amazing while others not so much. We had signaled Henry at the limitless lounge and he ignored us, the bartenders then switched and started from the opposite end and didn't care that we had been standing there longer than anyone else. Since we had a drink pass we know that we may not be served the same as paying customers. However, determined to get our number of drinks in we went to the bar by the casino and Grace was great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was great!!

Cabin / Stateroom
