Review summary

Overall awesome. But not much for teens to do, Water is weird and windjammer doesn’t have much variety in the food category.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Awesome and fast embarkation. We were some of the first people on the ship and it went very smoothly and safely with little problems.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining room had very good food even if the name didn’t sound very appetizing (the cheesecake is the best :D). In the Windjammer it was basically the same food everyday for breakfast and I would like more variety or a larger option. Dinner in the windjammer had a theme every night though and it was fun to see what they would have every night.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Nothing much for tennagers to do. Rock wall was fun and shuffle board was fun for a little while. The ship scavenger hunts are definitely recommended.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

My biggest problem in this area is the water being used throughout the ship. I had accidentally gotten a shirt wet in the shower and when it dried out it smelled absolutely terrible. Once my family smelled this we begin smelling that smell around the ship very often. We had taken the all access tour that goes down into the belly of the ship and smelt that smell very strongly down there. Also I had also accidentally spilled my water one night at dinner and when the water dried it left a kinda off-whiteish yellow color if you will. Kinda weird not gonna lie. Other than that everything was great.
