Review summary
Our overall experience was good. We were traveling with multiple families. My family was assigned a separate dining table from the rest. This was very upsetting as I was the one that booked the cruise for the others. We went to the talk to the Matre'd the first day and was told that we were not linked to the others and the only hing they could do was get us switched with a table close to the others. Luckily, They were able to do that; but it still wasn't the same as we weren't able to eat all together. We spent most of our time on the ship in the pools and hot tubs. They weren't over crowded at any time. We also enjoyed the nightly movies while we were swimming or enjoying the hot tub. Although it was hard to hear the movie in the upper hot tub. The food was great in the dining room. The buffet on Lido could have been better. Half the time, they closed some of the lines before main dining times were over. They offered the same things for breakfast every day. Working coffee makers were hard to find. We would have liked more options outside the dining room and buffet for dinner. The different islands were very nice. We felt very rushed though and would have liked more time at all of them. I feel the price of the pictures were very overpriced. The package deals should be available throughout the entire cruise, not just the first couple days.
