Review summary

It was a good cruise. I expected more since I purchased a Jr Suite but I had no access to the concierge lounge or other benefits that other Suite guests had.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and uneventful

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was amazing I just wish they had drink stations closer to the rooms so if you want a drink late you don't have to go far.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The pools were ok but there was never really enough room especially on sail days. the pools and hot tubs were always jammed.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows in the theater were great, and the music from the DJs were entertaining

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
the Waiters and room stewards were great, very attentive and always with a smile. I wouldn't mind them being on any cruise I take.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
the décor was a little dated, the commo areas were clean and in great shape.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
the size of the room was great but the room furniture was dated and the bathroom had repairs done as if a child had done it. The caulking was sloppily done and the shower curtain was dirty. Also the shower head spayed all over the place.

Ship tip

for the price you are better off going with a Balcony state room the Jr. suite isn't worth the price.
