Review summary

It was nice. Next. Cruise will probably try another ship. This was my first cruise, so I have nothing to compare it to.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It went fast and I was on the ship with in about 30 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
My favorite place was Guys burger joint. Loved it! The buffet for lunch was good, but for dinner wasn't that great. Need chicken tenders at night.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
I tried the pool once. It's too over crowded and it's hard to get in and out with that many people on the ship. Plus my nephew who is 1 couldn't even swim because they don't allow swimmers in the pool. That needs to change. That was the whole reason swimmers was created, so little babies could keep cool. I most definitely was not happy with. I loved the casino. I couldn't stay in there long due to the smoke being so thick do to all the smokers. I just took breaks and left and just come back later.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I liked the deck parties the best.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Well I just found out about the kids club 2 days before we were to get off the boat. If I had known sooner I would of taken advantage of that more. My kids loved it and didn't want to leave.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
My steward was LLoyd he was the best. I have never met anyone that remembers all of my family's names. He even remembered names of my family that was on another floor. He was so kind. Always checking to see if we needed anything. Asking us how things are going. He was very nice and really made us feel at home. He needs a raise.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was nice. Needs a bigger pool to accommodate all those people and a small kiddy pool would be nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Ports of call

Charleston, South Carolina

Glad you enjoyed your first cruise Julie!! 👍🏽Thanks for the review. Did you happen to notice any foul smells on the lower decks of the ship near the dining area or atrium? I've heard ppl mention them & was wondering if they've fixed the issue.
