Review summary

Out of the 4 cruises we've been on this was the most family friendly and enjoyable. Everything was almost perfect. The service, the crew members, the things to do, the food, everything was very nice and we met a lot of nice people. The entertainment was excellent. It just was really nice in every way.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food in every area was wonderful. There were so many wonderful selections in the Windjammer buffet area, and Giovani's and the main dining room were absolutely excellent. The food was really great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
My husband went to the pool once. I would have liked to tried the hot tub and slide but didn't make it. There was so much to do. We walked around, went to the Promenade and got coffee and sat, looked in the stores and bought a few things. We went to the ice skating show twice and every night to the other shows. Everything was so wonderful and family friendly. It was amazing. The professional theatre shows were so good. We were amazed and the skating show blew us away. Really good.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The nightly shows and the skating show are what we saw and they were excellent. The dancing, singing etc were superb. We were simply amazed and they were clean. Even Grease was surprisingly mostly family friendly. We were amazed.

Children's Programs

We had no children with us but where I thought so many childre on the ship would be hard, it wasn't. They were well behaved or not around where we were.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service in every area was excellent. The photography people have to work o communicating what they offer in a more clear way but over all they did good and the pictures were beautiful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was clean and well maintained. We really enjoyed everything.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The comfort level was great. We are trying a spacious balcony next time but even so as it was, everything was nice. We slept great, the balcony was really so nice and our cabin person who looked after us was amazing.

Ship tip

It has a lot of wonderful amzing things to see and do and even with all the people there were actually places to find that were quiet. But if you want to be around people the pool is the place to be.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida
