Review summary

We were in great hands and felt safe during the changing circumstances of a possible cat 5 hurricane. Changes were made and the Captain kept us updated regarding destinations and sailing plans as the storm progressed.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy and fast and well directed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main dining was enjoyable and delicious. Our personal staff Mohammad and Sonini were the absolute best! They took care of us and remembered our names anywhere we saw them on the boat. Manager was delightful and even played hide around the table with younger toddler to make a him smile and laugh. Chops was absolutely FANTASTIC! Best steak we have had in years! Buffet had a wide variety of foods for all ages and really hit the spot. Loved the dancing hand cleanser staff to make sure everyone sanitized before they entered the buffet.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Teens had there things going on. They had a blast. Just what our teen needed with no internet. They had internet but we chose to not to buy teen.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Can not say enough nice words about all of the staff!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean a little out dated but clean. Enjoyed the adults only pool. Music got a little loud at time inside main areas.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Plenty of space and comfortable. Could have used more plug in outlets but was fine. A little dated in design but lovely. We agreed that Junior suite was a better fit for 3.

Ship tip

It would be nice if beverage package was included or at least not as expensive.
