Review summary

Had a wonderful time overall, next time would take a much larger ship, Sensation, while nice was way too small for my liking! The shows were wonderful and wished they had one every night, the one night they didn't was kind of a let down (if they did have a show that night, we didn't know about it!)

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Great, no problems

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was great, they forgot our drinks since they were non alcoholic almost every night, so we ended up drinking water instead with our meals.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Was a little disappointed that the size of the ship only had 1 pool and no large screen tv outside. Would have been much nicer if there was an adult pool, as too many people crowded into pool most of the times. No rock climbing walls, and fitness center charged for use of equipment so we skipped it.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Thoroughly enjoyed the shows and musicians

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Room steward was fantastic! Some ship personnel made faces when you stopped them to ask a question, like you were bothering them. The waiters tried for the most part, but having different waiters each night made it hard for them to get to know you. Possibly sitting at the same table nightly might have allowed for better service as the waiters would get to know you better!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

great

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Everything was perfect except the shower kept overflowing and flooding the bathroom floor. Nice and clean and roomy!

Ship tip

Take a larger ship with more and newer fun sensations to do. More pools, large screen tv, maybe rock climbing wall, more shows being held outside on the deck instead of just last day at sea. Would have been nice if the leaving port from Miami had activities and musicians on the deck for a bon voyage party!
