Review summary

This was my first cruise and i enjoyed it very much. Knowing what i know now, i plan to bring more cash, an additional suitcase and my fiancé (LoL). I wish the drinks were stronger and they was a snavk bar for late night snacking, like popcorn and chips. I l8ved th3 Kareokee , wish the times were longer. I enjoyed the sitting pods and the spa was amazing!!!! I plan on making the next cruise for celebrating my mothers 60th birthday with my 2 sons. I really think she will enjoy the trip and family time.

I was on floor 2, i had a full sized bed and my room was well kept.

Ship tip

Bring an extra suitcase, at least 2k in cash for shopping on and off the ship. Eat at the steakhouse at least once! The chef was very accommodating with my vegan vegetarian lifestyle.
