Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I have never had so much hot food on a cruise and it was so yummy. It was really nice to have so many options as well. No matter where you are on the ship you have something to eat and something to smack on.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
This ship is very family friendly. I enjoyed all the pools on the ship. They were not crowed and the kids had there own place to be as well. This was really nice. The swim up bar for the Adults was really cool and even has floating drink menus in the water. lol. the only thing I thought was weird They put the adult over 18 area by the Category 6 water slides. I would have thought this would be by a quite spot. but it does work with the infinity pool at the back of the ship. Beautiful.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
so the main show on ship was the Wizard of OZ and OMG it was great. It was a little long but is was wonderful. It was about an hour and 40 minutes. WE were no about to see the Aqua show however you are about to see the practice dive all day and that was a lot of fun. I did miss the Ice show as well bc they only had one show on the ship and it was the first night of the sailing and I just forgot and thought they would have another show but they did not.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Everyone was so friendly and over the top. but they are still learning the ship as well.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
There are lots of hidden places on the ship and it is a little hard to get around. Like Playmaker and the Ice show. I got a little lost trying to find it. It is to the left of the by the art gallery.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
I had the Infinity Veranda...I like the cabin but not in love with the cabin. Let me start with what I loved about the balcony. I love the upgraded balcony furniture. I loved the privacy. You can not look around to the neighbors (unless you really try). the sun does not beat down on you balcony so it is much much cooler. and My favorite thang at night I can leave it open and listen to the waves and get the cool breeze. Beautiful. Now the things I did not like: So I am an avid read and I love to read on the balcony in the morning and have a cup of coffee. However with this cabin I can not open the window without making noise and waking my husband. Then with the window open it have a whistle noise an this wakes my husband up as well. then if you open you cabin door with the window open it will suck every peace of paper into the hall way.

Ship tip

Wear good shoes. There is a lot of walking. I did 17 miles in 3 days. But I did see everything on this ship. Have a plan for the day. You will have so much fun you day will go bay fast.

Great review! I will say 100 minutes is very long for a cruise show. Your going to have to go back and see the ice skating show. Again thanks for the review.. you've sold me.
