Review summary

Overall very good, everything you would expect from a cruise. New Year’s Eve was great. Negatives were, Tad rocky on the sea day from Miami day 2, and getting off was a bit of a nightmare as the bags were on the wrong conveyer belt. The kids didn’t like the club on this ship they are 9 and 10 but loved it last cruise.

Glad you enjoyed it. Any ship will rock if the seas are rough. As far as the debarkation issues, it’s always best to do self-debarkation taking your own bags. You will be one of the first ones off the ship, not have to search for your bags and usually will have a much smaller line at customs

Food was the worst. Great service! Hot tubs and pool cold. Lots of activities, but lots of waivers for kids to sign. Drink machine were always out of ice and beverages, and needed more machines.

Good long break
