Review summary

Although such a big ship might seem scary (and risky), it was a wonderful experience, and it never felt super-crowded. We had a lot of fun (besides some obnoxious out-of-control children). Food, entertainment, venues were all great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

ship is amazing, everything spick and span

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

very good design, lots of storage space, but small and a bit cramped (we had a ocean view balcony, fits 3 people). Twin/queen bed is good, but sofa-bed was small.

Ship tip

If have have issues with roudy and noisy kids than you might not enjoy the trip as much, specially becaus ethe adult pool area is small (get a chair by 8am or else). Make reservations for all the shows as early as possible, also for the specialty restaurants.

Did the snorkel with turtles, saw some turtles and rays, but beach was crowded thus water was not very clear. Tour crew was amazing though, super nice and concerned that we have a good time.
