Review summary

Very fun cruise. More time in ports would be nice.

Fast and simple.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Did not do specialty restuarants. Main dining has taken an unfortunate step backwards in quality. Buffet seemed about the same. "Hit or miss" on food. Pizza was great as always!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Pools are small and crowded. Hot tubs tended to be packed by younger adults and teenagers. Sky Ride was neat for about 10 seconds and then no big deal. Mini golf was typical and over run by kids. Water slides were above average and fun. BINGO was typical and expensive.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Stage shows were fun. Music was Good. They had a IMAX theater, it was very nice (costs extra). Comics were decent.

Children's Programs

No kids on trip

Ship tip

Do not use your sign and sail card at casino. It was very easy to rack up a bill doing so. Pay/play with cash.
