Review summary

This was our family's very first cruise. We really didn't know what to expect and it was a very positive experience from embarkation to debarkation. It has turned us into life long cruisers. The cruise director Kendall Fire was amazing and full of energy, and all of the entertainment crew were top notch. The service crew was amazing and they deserve all the tips they can get.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The Bonsai sushi restaurant is definitely well worth the added cost. Of all the restaurants that was a high point. Our main dining room servers were top notch as well. If you get Louie as your server you are in for some amazing service.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The cabin was great and we had awesome stewards. We were in a balcony cabin and although we were not in the cabin that often when we were there we were quite comfortable
