Review summary

We had an awesome time! This cruise was for my nieces 21st birthday. We saw every part of that ship that we could. Frankie was our cruise director and he was really funny and awesome! The staff was always very nice and plenty of entertainment. A cruise really is what you make of it. If you want to be bored, be bored. If you want to party, then party it up! If you want to relax, just relax!

Embarkation

Everything went very smooth and we were on the ship before we knew it!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The main dining room was very good, the breakfast was amazing but took forever to get to us. We ate ate at everywhere and the only food we didn't care for was buffets.

Pool Bar

5 out of 5

Andrea was a bartender and she was really good. We loved her. She made awesome drinks and was always smiling, happy and really nice.

Redfrog Pub

5 out of 5

Candice was our bartender and was so nice and funny. We really enjoyed talking with her. I couldn't think of a name of a drink, this seems to be the theme of my trip, and the jokes started from there. Candice also, like another bartender, saw me somewhere else on the ship and we continued joking and laughing. Bartenders like her make the trip even more fun!

Alchemy Bar

5 out of 5

Attila was our bartender and she was so funny! We laughed with her for a while. She found me at another place on the ship and continued to laugh and joke about what I was trying to call a drink. I had no clue what the name was and the jokes started there. Bartenders like her make the trip more fun

American Lobby and Atrium Bar

5 out of 5

MJ, from Thailand, was hand down the best bartender. She was so funny, sweet and made really good drinks! We loved seeing her. She was at American Bar and One step

Entertainment

I just walked into a few shows and didn't stay long because we had something else going on. What I did see was really good. We did go to the Hairy Chest contest and the Love and Marriage show. I needed those awesome laughs!!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room steward was Rodney. He was so awesome! He made sure we had what we needed and it was always there. He was such a nice guy and our room was always well taken care of. We got a chance to talk with Rodney for a bit and he was really funny and sweet. There were 3 of us in the room and he knew all of us by name. This is my second cruise and the first guy was really nice but Rodney made a huge difference. Thank you Rodney you made our trip that much more enjoyable!

Disembarkation

We bought FTTF and if I didn't use it for anything but to get off the ship it was worth it. We were off quickly and on our way home. We didn't want to leave but knowing we had a long drive home I am glad we were off quickly.
