Review summary

We kept to ourselves and had a great time. The clientele was somewhat disappointing because some people are just rude, slovenly, and don’t watch their kids. An employee told me that prime occupancy is 4000 and there were 4953 passengers. That’s a 20% increase that caused lines EVERYWHERE and an increased burden on staff and passengers.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food and drinks were good. Wait times at the restaurants were ridiculous, both waiting for tables and food service.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Tiny pools.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Just not good…except the female country singer.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Room steward was good. Wait staff tries, but there were just TOO many people on the ship. It was just so overbooked.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Pools were DISGUSTING. Common areas were average because people are pigs and the staff couldn’t keep up. Every cushion on this ship needs replacing. Cabin steward was great.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Room was perfect except we paid a lot of money for this upgrade and the lock on the sliders from the outside was broken which made it terribly inconvenient.
