Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Decent food, service in MDR was good, a little slow though. Lido buffet was nothing great. Big chicken, Guys Burger and Blue Iguana wee very good

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Trivia was good but there weren't a ton of them when guests were on the ship. Groove for SJ was a little lame

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Didn't watch the night shows, they are always boring. DJ on deck was good. Radiance band was not good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff were nice, and worked hard to make experience great.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
All was very clean. Layout of ahip is a little challenging compared to others. Middle dining room causes 2 decks to be cut off.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Size was average, it was clean and comfy

Ship tip

Stay on a cabin only deck, quieter and easier to naviate.

Personally I like foreign stops so I wasn't looking forward to this one, but renting a golf cart made it fun and took us to some great overlooks
