Review summary

I had a great time. I would have enjoyed more activities on the ship during the sea days. There were shows going on but not that I was interested in. If I was to do this again I will just get a regular room because I didn't use the spa enough to cover the cost difference in my opinion. Overall we had fun and really enjoyed our excursions.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Loved the food in the black pearl. We did our time dining and barely waited at all for a table. The steakhouse is something to visit at least once!

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

I expected more for my cabin from the description. the 2 beds pushed together to make the king kept coming apart and someone always woke up in a hole.

Ship tip

Check out the steakhouse and the comedy shows after dark for really funny adult humor.

Without the spa cabin, I read it is 40.00 for half a day each. The spa room was only 177. Extra, so I think it'll be worth it.

Don't get me wrong the spa was great it just wasn't worth the extra money for us because we only used the thermal spa for about 20 min. It was relaxing and not crowded at all.
