Review summary

The service in all the restaurants was top notch. We ate at Chops, Giovanni’s, and Hooked which had a gourmet menu and superior service. The only downfall was the lack of adult only venues and bars. We encountered small toddlers in all the hot tubs, pools, specialty restaurants and bars late in the night.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Very quick and efficient servers. The food was always hot and served in a timely manner.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There was always a several trivia games every day, loved the Love and Marriage show. The walking/ jogging track on deck 5 was a nice break from all the crazy pool kids. There were 2 seating areas on deck 5, very quiet and peaceful.

Aquadome

Warning - there is only bench seating, which was very uncomfortable. Only one row with a back to lean on during the show. The diving show was well done, but a skateboard display seemed very odd during the show.

Absolute Zero

A fantastic high energy show. Loved the talented juggler that performed midway in the show.

Service and Staff

Top notch service at all the restaurants. Our stateroom attendant was very friendly and accommodating to our requests.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very bright and colorful decor. We followed the app to get to several venues, a lot of walking to get to our planned location.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very spacious junior suite. The comforter and pillows were very cozy. Lots of closet space, with shelves and also a 3 drawer cabinet was provided for storage. The adjustable shower head in the bathroom was convenient for tall and short guests. After a few days on board, I discovered that I could control the tv and lights on my phone app.

Ship tip

Beware, be prepared to dodge toddlers and strollers all over the ship, including the bars late at night.
