Our first time aboard a cruise ship vacation. Absolutely loved the overall experience. Would like to try a different boat, maybe from Galveston so as to avoid the airfare and airport hassles.

Fast and efficient though some of the staff there was a bit rude and stressed
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Overall dining was really good. The lines for the pizza and burgers were always a bit too long, though quality was good. The Lincoln dining room was picture perfect, the meals top notch. Only down side was the main entre for the 'Grilled Shrimp' I selected had only 4 pieces of shrimp. A bit small.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Absolutely loved the pools, message, jacuzzi outdoor bar, all of it... Everyone was in good spirits and we met so many interesting people.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The nightly shows were really good. The last nights show was beyond good it was awesome.
Children's Programs
We did not have kids with us.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
On board staff was really good. Always in good spirits, helpful and friendly. I just wish I could remember their names to give shout outs to the ones we interacted with.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Being our first time aboard this sort of cruise ship we were very impressed how well it was laid out, the quality of the construction and beautifully furnished.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Size was just right for our short stay. The balcony provided a nice way to relax during the 'day at sea' days. Inman, our cabin attendant did a fantastic job cleaning the room around our schedule.
Ship tip
Avoid the endless bubbles option. Our only disappointing experience. It was hardly endless and often had to stand in line at a bar to get a drink. Each time a receipt with an expected tip had to be signed. Would be better to pay as you go.
