Review summary

Good Cruise but not really Family Friendly as there was lots of Drinking and Intoxicated passengers on board. Not a lot for kids to do unless they are in the Kids Clubs. Not bad if you want to take a local cruise without needing to Fly to Floriday.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Easy and Simple, about 45 minutes total.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffet and MDR were Good, the Specialty restaurants were Great!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Waterpark and Sports Deck were good but not very large. Some more activity choices would have been good.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Good stage shows for a Cruise Ship. Couldn't ever get a seat to see the Comedians.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff were Excellent.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Good Layout of the ship and the Lido deck was kept clean. The Sports Deck and Waterworks area could have used some more attention.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfect size for a Family of 4. Enjoyed the Balcony immensely. Deck 9 (Lido) is a Great place to stay if you want quick access to the Pool, Buffet, and activities.

Ship tip

If you are wanting a Quiet Cabin stay, away from the cabins near the Open Atrium as they are very noisy until late at night.

Easy process, had to wait about 45 minutes before being able to disembark due to checked luggage.
