Review summary

It was good. We're ready to book another cruise for spring break!

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Although crown and anchor members had special seating areas and filled them up quickly, the non-C&A section was chosen to board first.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Many meals were delicious (lobster, shrimp), but some were subpar (lamb shank.). tablecloths were spotted or dirty in the main dining room at breakfast. Enjoyed the deluxe drink package!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Schooner Bar and Dog and Badger performers were enjoyable. Spa services (couples massage) were great!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Grease the Musical was fantastic! Late night comic with straws was Meh (Steve Smith)...obvious plant in the audience; same show as 2012. Heath Harmison was great!
