Review summary

It was beautiful! But definitely a party ship. Do not shop on the ship. View was beautiful. Ship was well maintained.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Quick and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

All was delicious but the drinks were weak. Got the drinks package because you pay 18% gratuity for every single drink otherwise. Desserts were dry. Otherwise the food was great!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Fun! Although avoid the shopping. They say it is tax and duty free but thankfully I had the internet package. Quick look on JcPenny or Amazon and I found all the products cheaper off the ship. It may be tax and duty free however it is upcharged. Lastly there was a twerking competition... all good and fun for singles but not high end activities.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

James and Ty the money guy were great and fun. Loved Adam. He made the disembarking presentation fun! Lastly the staff at guest services (especially Amy) were always great. Always a pleasure working with them. One issue we had was that the cleaning staff never knocked. They had a tendency to walk in without knocking.

Fun and I felt safe because we were well prepared. Only found 1 decent shop all others were garbage. Also, one must remember that culture is different. Men liked to strong hold the women to pressure them into buying products. Also, the women would start selling but BIG creepy men walk up behind them and will take over the sale.
