Review summary

The only thing that I might change is to not allow thong swimsuits. I don't want to look at someone's ass cheeks. And it's risqué for a family environment with children onboard.

Such nice waiters!!!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Pool. Shows. Spa for the free "extravaganza" which really wasn't much & staff didn't even seem to know much about it.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Excellent!!!

Children's Programs

My grandk7ds were with their parents. Not me.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

So friendly, hard working & helpful!!!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Very good. Pool steps too high & far apart for folks with bad knees. Pool could've been bigger for all the guests the ship has. Just my opinion.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Beds were comfy. Plenty of storage.

Ship tip

I overpacked. Don't pack too much! Didn't need jeans or jacket I took.

Common now anywhere for one to show a lot of cheek. Pools on ships are always small due to the weight of the water.

I suggest you not go to beaches in Europe either. Top less and thongs, are just normal. No body hangups.

Glad you enjoyed your first cruise. Wonderful staff it one of the things that impressed me most on my first cruise too and continues to impress me on every cruise since. Your tip is spot on and yet I still overpack! I hear you on the swimsuit attire but you’ll see the same at any beach or pool you go to these days.
