Review summary

It was awesome overall. My children had a great time it was their first cruise. My daughter stayed sick while on the ship even with taking dramamine because of the movement. The entertainment from Matt did get a little redundant. Lines were sooooooo long for food you had to be strategic about eating on the lido deck. But still a great time!!

While the 1st and 2nd time Matt entertained it seemed to be the same music and same dance steps each day.

My son is 14 and did not utilize the childrens program

Service and Staff

my room steward was not what i've had on past cruises. he cleaned 1 time a day versus 2 times like on the breeze and fascination. it was on day 3 that we received a ladder for my daughter. We have always pulled our gratuity and paid separately on all 5 previous cruises. Well this time the steward made a point to ask us about us doing that and about a tip. (we did give his a tip upon leaving.)

Take strong motion sickness medicine if you get sick. This vessel moves A LOT!

You didn't like Matt? I thought he was better than awesome! Took the time to know everyone and engaged in all cruise activities. Have sailed with him twice on Vista and he's by far the best cd we've had. Been on 10 cruise

Nice to have you state an overall positive cruise after discussing the negatives. We tend to take the positives for granted, but you acknowledge them in the summation and overall score.

I have the same problem as your daughter. I get the patch from my Dr's office. I only have to change it every 2 1/2 to 3 days, no drowsiness and it works great! She will know when to change it, you can feel it wear off. Happy Cruising!
