Over all the cruise was ok. It was a much needed vacation nonetheless. Definitely my least favorite out of the 4 we have been on.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Ok. They were just running way behind

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Loved to MDR staff! 2 of our lobster tails were way under cooked. Most the food was ok but not as good as in the past.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The kids had a blast with everything they did. The casino is way too small and needs a bar.

Thanks for the review. When ships go to dry dock, their layout will not change. New paint, carpet, hotel updates, sometimes new features can be added, but the layout remains the same. If this ship class feels closed off, continue to explore other classes until you find what feels right. Hope you enjoy your next cruise more. Happy Sails 🛳️🏝️
