Review summary

The cruise was awesome and the ship was nice.  However, our bathroom smelled like urine like it hadn't been cleaned thoroughly in a long time - it was strong enough where I could smell it while in bed at night.  My family loved the burger/hot dog/brat grill and was very disappointed it closed at 6 pm.  We tried doing the buffet for dinner a couple of times but it seemed the food ran out and wasn't replenished during the time we were eating.  The employees were very nice and the entertainment was fun.  Especially the comedy club.  We also enjoyed the contests by the pool - hairy chest contest, synchronized swimming, etc. - those were hilarious.  MarkQ was awesome - my daughter enjoyed him singing before every announcement.

Food and Dining

Buffet ran out of food quickly. We wish the burger joint would've been open later than 6 pm. Pizza kitchen was awesome!

The comedy shows were really good! Activities at the Lido pool were hilarious.

Children's Programs

We signed our kids up for the teen clubs but they wouldn't do it. The staff should reach out to kids who are signed up - teens typically won't volunteer to do things and need a little encouragement.

Ship Quality

Our bathroom smelled of urine pretty bad. HATED the smokers areas with the nice furniture - gross. The public restrooms were spotless and everything seemed pretty clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Other than the bathroom smell or room was perfect for our family. We had plenty of storage and space and the balcony was amazing.

Ship tip

Go to at least one comedy show. We had so much fun!
