Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffet was pretty average but there was always a wide variety and it was tasty— mashed potatoes were killer every time! Main dining room definitely had the better food and did pretty good with vegetarian options. Really enjoyed the speed and ease of my time dining and staff was great!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pools were super clean and I love that they actually enforced rules inshows the adult area; never kids! Flow rider, rock wall and mini golf were all awesome and lots of fun

Everyone I encountered was fabulous and so friendly. Our room steward was beyond great! So friendly, brought us ice daily and always left cute towel animals

Ship Quality

I’ve sailed on Indy previously and still loved her just as much. Everything was spotlessly cleaned and it’s very easy to navigate

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved overlooking the promenade! Nice to have a couch in the window to look out and see what’s happening below. The cabin was very clean and just enough room for the 2 of us. Very much enjoyed it and slept great every night! I love how dark the rooms get and the bed was comfy easy
