Review summary

Overall it was a fun and relaxing experience. We were able to do things as a family and take a break from each other with plenty of activities for the kids to do on their own. One thing to be aware of is there is a lot of selling going on - they try to sell you photo packages, jewelry, watches, drinks, there were a couple of sessions in the gym where they tried to sell things as well. No pushy sales though. Plenty of entertainment and food. There's a casino on board as well. The Cruise director Chris was very energetic and entertaining. Overall it was a great experience.

All the common areas were very neat and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very comfortable for 2 people. Small shower stall but otherwise okay. You spend very little time in the cabin.

Ship tip

Learn the layout. Not all decks allow access from front to back. Know your way around or you will be late to your events. Allow plenty of time for meals as it takes time.
