Review summary

It was all great! With 75@ capacity there were no long lines and not many kids. If you were thinking about a cruise this is the one to take! I am ready to go again. Y’all come on!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It was the best we ever had. No long lines and everyone was as nice and excited as we were to be cruising again. Masks were needed until we got on the ship. We had all of our paperwork filled out. It was great!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The buffets were delicious and we served ourselves. The hamburgers were delightful. They even had self served ice cream. The omelettes were good too. We liked the Mexican food . We only went to the Italian Restaurant and it was good. The dining room was where we ate most of our evening meals. We had to choose from our phones to tell the server what we wanted to eat. The staff was wonderful . The food was delicious. The warm chocolate cake was our favorite.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The hot tubs were our favorite. The ride across the top of the ship was an unusual and a happy one for the younger kids. There was activities across the ship and you couldn’t possibly do them all.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
There were stage shows every night. The singers and dances did a good job. The music was good but our kids knew all the songs. The marriage game was a hit with us. The kids went to one of the comedy shows and it as good. The trio violinist did a lovely presentation. The ventriloquist was a little lacking in his show. Not the best one. All in all it was very good.

Children's Programs

No children but it was not available.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room Stewart was Edy and he was great. He was so happy to be back on board. He cleaned our Roos daily and brought us ice twice a day. He called us by name from the beginning. Our wait staff was great too. Robert and his staff did an excellent job at table 199 early sitting. They knew all our names and remembered our preferences of drinks. They insisted on our having two things if we weren’t sure if we liked our order. The other staff was just as nice all over the ship. Very friendly and professional.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was as clean as could be. They all worked very ha rd at it. Even someone was cleaning the restrooms all the time. There were hand washing stations every where in the ship. The ship wasn’t as spectacular as some but it was ok.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our rooms were side by side. They were all clean and comfortable. The size was just fine.

Ship tip

Don’t take as many clothes as You have packed! You won’t need them. Take all the Fun you can. You’ll need it!

Disembarkation
