Review summary

The bars and people were great. Great first experience!

5 out of 5

Super crowded and crazy but smooth

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

All main dining, including specialty restaurants and dining fell a bit flat

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

There were only 2 small pools so we didn’t get to swim, the activities were nothing really appealing to us. A lot of trivia.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Nightly string trio was great! Some of the comedians were good others not so much.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Almost all of the staff we came across were very nice, there was usually a bit of a language barrier so they tried to help the best they could.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The ship was a bit spread out and maze like. Everything was very clean though.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Very clean, decent size, mattresses were terrible though.
