Review summary

Mr Mark (room steward) and Me Merta (dining room waiter) made this such a memorable trip for the boys. They quickly became friends. The shop has lots to do, but it's hard to become aware of all the options, even using the app.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Quick and straighforward

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The staff was absolutely incredible. Food choices in the buffets seem to be repetitive and felt limited.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Lots to do, but lines to deal with for pools, slides, etc

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Great shows. Wish they had more shows for the kids

Children's Programs

1 out of 5

My children stayed at kids club for 45 minutes and wanted nothing to do with it and begged to not go back

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our steward and waiter in our dining room were the absolute best. They made our children's trip so incredibly memorable. We were so sad to leave them!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Everything was clean and well maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was a bit small but meticulously cleaned every single day. Wish there were more toiletries offered such as shampoo, conditioner or moisturizer

Ship tip

Do the slides early! We tried to do them on the trip home and the lines were so long! Bring shampoo, conditioner, moisturizer and lanyards with you

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5

We took our own excursion due to the high prices onboard. The port was very crowded and there's no organization of people coming out. Like herding cattle
