Review summary

Was fun to go at this time of year especially with all the Christmas decorations. Had a few hiccups in the beginning but got past those. The Wi-Fi is also not the greatest. Frustrating at times.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Had to retake Covid test in garage cause they lost original one after waiting 2 hrs for results and then found out our cabin was changed to a non connecting when booked connecting cabins. They did find another set of connecting cabins. The decorations were not transferred to new rooms.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was good in dining rooms but buffet was just so so. Did not eat In specialty restaurants cause wanted to do their rotational dining which was fun. They need to have an adult beverage package to offer. They do have free sodas, lemonade, tea, coffee and you can have your own mugs/cups to fill at the machines so that was very nice but if you want adult drinks prepare to pay up for them.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Aqua Duck was fun! Decks were busy but not overcrowded. Ship was not at capacity, about 2,000 on board. Was pleasant. Would not have been if was at capacity. Characters were out quite often for pictures. Bingo was expensive so did not play.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

This one had Frozen, Aladdin, and another Disney show called Believe all were very good. Adults even enjoyed too.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Kids clubs had limited times so they were not at the centers as much. Teen club was open to all teens when club was open.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Very good staff. Always tried to do the best for you.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

They were constantly cleaning the public bathrooms👍 And around the rest of the ship too. Ran two show times cause social distancing.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We ended up with what they call a fiver. It has a Murphy bed in addition to bunk bed sofa, and queen bed. Split baths were very nice to have. The round tub with seat has a overhead shower AND a handheld shower too. Nice! Very good water pressure. Have cruised on other ships/ lines in past and beds were able to split(for the kids) but now at least on this ship they do not split.
