Review summary

This was my first cruise and I was very nervous. I think I read everything there was about going on a cruise. I was prepared and we had a wonderful time. We cannot wait until we have the opportunity to go on another cruise!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and Efficient. Everything is so well organized and there is staff ready to problem solve.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The Dining Room experience was one of a kind! Alexandro and Efrain were so personable and anticipated our every need. They invited my two kids to dance during "Show Time," and my kids, who are generally shy, were really into the celebration. Alexandro made my daughter's birthday very special! The Deli Sandwich attendants were so polite to my children and my son couldn't get enough of those delicious deli sandwiches.

Onboard Activities

My husband visited the fitness center and sauna and was delighted. We all went to the evening movies and the 80's show was magnificent.

Entertainment

Far from over, the 80's show had us reliving our youth! DJ music was so much fun and the live performances were outstanding.
