Review summary

Over all was a great relaxing trip. Enjoy the things to do and night movies by the pool. They need better sitting for families to see the big screen. Great customer service.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Plenty of food to have, however save time and buy the packages for sodas (with refillable cups) in order to have access to drinks inside the ship since they do lack of placing water fountains at every floor. You actually have to go to 3 places in the ship to have water.

Main Dining Rooms (Galileo, Isaac & Leonardo)

5 out of 5

The dinners were superb and you can ask for more than one plate for tasting. They have great staff.

Water park is not a water park. Just blow up obstacles in the water. Save the money and go to the beach without paying.

They need to come up with a better way of unloading passengers that already have their luggage with them with faster lines instead of going through out the line where other passengers have to pick up their luggage before going through customs.
