Review summary

Best ship board experience if they tweak the ports a little and fix the swim up bar this would be a perfect cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth as always

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was above what is on other RC ships. Dining was perfect no other way to say it

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
They did a great job keeping kids and adult separated if you wanted that with the exception of the swim up bar. Not sure why this isn't adult only

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All shows were great excepted for the knockoff Avengers I actually fell asleep during the show.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
