Review summary

Great first time and would do it again! Food was pretty good for being included. Never tried the specialty restaurants but probably would have loved those even more. Next time i would get the food package maybe. Staff and service made the trip exceptional.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Thorough and went smooth

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining - great service to Abhinav and Birendra. It really was a wonderful experience having them as our waiters. Food was delicious. We tried to eat everything! Wait time was not too long. Buffet - Food was pretty good! Breakfast was decent, but the same options were appearing. My kids loved the scrambled eggs though. Lunch and Dinner were great! Drinks - available everywhere. Coffee was always full and water was always full. no complaints! Had Sorentos everyday!! wish it was open earlier during our stay at nassau.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Too many to do. The vanilla softserve was down the first 2 days. The VR didnt work on the jump pad. Fitness center was awesome, Splashpad was where the fun was. Rock climbing was great to try. We enjoyed the scavenger hunts and all the shows. Laser tag - wish they did more than a day Ice Skating - first time kids ice scating sessions felt short but good enough for kids.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Silent disco was our family favorite! Headliner comedy show was teary eyed funny.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
1 wanted to go back and the other did not. He was unable to play the video games in the 6-9 section. the 6 year-old wanted to play more games with the employees!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward JJ always kept our area clean and left surprises for the kids that they really enjoyed. Abhinav and Birendra from main dining was great! Angel and many others from the buffet were all helpful and kept the place clean.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
All the tables were cleaned quickly and available for us to sit. We did not have any issues finding a place to sit or rest.
