Review summary

We love cruising and in 2020 we are taking the kids again on one.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Embarkation was good but the parking was bad. Some how my brothers tag had come off his suit case and he had to go down to customer service desk to get it.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

All the food was tasty and the main dinning room was nice, never had to wait long to be seated.

Redfrog Rum Bar

3 out of 5

Staff was professionally but when I order my redfrog mug they charged me for the lid, you would think that would be included with the price.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The pools were nice and the sliding boards were better. My son slipped and fell in the water park. I think they need to make it more anti slide

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Our kids loved going to the kids club. They said they had a lot of fun. The only thing was at the time we had a 2 year old with us and they only had a 2 hour club in the morning for him.

Camp Ocean / Reception

4 out of 5

Camp ocean and tons of activities for the kids to do and video games also.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Room stewards know us by name and made it more friendly to talk to them when and if you needed something.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship was clean, it was there first time in the usa. The layout is big and you have room to walk and not bump into people.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Beds were nice to sleep on. We had a crib in our room so it made it a little tight to move in the room.
