Review summary

Overall our cruise was epic. We loved having four days at sea and went to three ports we’d never seen. We would go again in a heartbeat.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We had priority embarkation. We waited 20 minutes because we arrived early, had easy parking, and sped through security. It was easy and stress-free.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The Main Dining Room was hit or miss but the service was amazing. We did not eat at the lido buffet but did enjoy guys burgers, Chefs table, pizza, and the steakhouse.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I am not sure if we will ever be able to reserve the Captains Suite again but it was EPIC. A completely different cruise experience with our own private balcony. Also having two bathrooms made getting ready for dinner a breeze. If I get the opportunity again it was well worth the added cost and I would book it again.

Ship tip

If you are not in a suite, reserve Faster to the Fun for priority embarkation/debarkation, customer service and more.

The pool is large and free with beverages and food for purchase. There are also shops and water sports including zip lining. If we went back I would purchase an excursion as we wanted some other options after 1-2 hours at port.
