Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

very good it was nice at the buffet but the steak at the formal night was a little thin

Pool Bar

5 out of 5

I want to say a big thank you to Paul at the bar. My 11 year old son really liked that Paul would take care of him when he needed a virgin drink. Paul treated him as if he was any one else on the ship. I really appreciated it.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

All the activity are geared for all but there is a bit of gap if you are an 11 year old on the ship. The adventure zone is from 2 to 11 and 12 to 18 so if you are eleven you are with the "little babys" and if you set him up for the older kids it is a little too much for him. it would be good if there was a 10 to 14 age group
