Review summary

Great ship with great staff, needs updating and lots of cosmetic work done on it but it’s an old ship so it’s to be exspected I guess! Overall we had a great trip and can’t wait for the next one

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Italian Restaurant food was good service was not good at all! Steak Restaurant very good everything, main dining good! Lido Buffett was not the greatest

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The pool is not that big and was very crowded most of the time, so we didn’t get a chance to get in it, same with Hot tubs! Son loved the kids slide and hubs enjoyed the the big slides! Mini golf was fun when we could play it was very windy most of time so ball kept blowing off corse lol pool tables in bad shape but playing pool on a boat is not easy anyway lol sports deck all around was great!

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
For what they had they were great, loved the green eggs and ham breakfast and the storytime! Wish they had more activities for families with the characters on board or just in general!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Service was great in all but the Italian Restaurant! Was very disappointed with it there!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was always very clean looking it definitely needs some updating and cosmetic fixes! Layout was great I thought

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Has lots of storage which is great! Good size shower, this is supposed to be a 3 person room which it was fine for two adults and our 4 year old but no way 3 adults could be in this room and adult unless a very short adult could not have slept on that little love seat! Oversized room for a ship was not bad! Definitely needs a lot of cosmetic and updating work done!

Ship tip

Go and have fun don’t stress the little stuff!

It took forever we choose later disembarkation (they said between 9am and 9:30am which was fine we didn’t even get off the ship until 11 and get our luggage and get threw customs until 12:30
