Review summary

We had a great time as a family seeing all the places that we went to and I am glad that we did it on this size ship. We had a few snags with getting on and off the ship but other than that everything was great.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

It was a terrible experience for first time cruisers. It took four hours to get on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food in the main dining room was good. Portion sizes left you hungry for an adult Male. The other specialty food places around the ship to me where no all that they described. They never had enough food to feed the people in line

Onboard Activities

My son enjoyed the pools and water slides

We only boarded here. The boarding process was long and drawn out and very unorganized. People where left out on the street for hours and could not meet there check in times. The ship was 2 hours late leaving the port.

In the dining room, you can order as much as you want, no limit. If the food portion are small, & you like the food order more & more. They had 2 nights with lobster, we are party of 12, we ordered 5-6 each. Order whatever you want & if you have leftover bring it to your cabin & snack it after the show, just ask for lid to cover your plate.
