Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We had amazing food our whole cruise the Windjammer was amazing and there is something for everyone! I have 2 picky 6yr old boys and they loved it! The main dining room was also great, although it did take a tad bit longer to get your food the service was amazing, the crew try very hard to remember your names and make it an enjoyable experience.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
So much to so from live shows, mini golf, we did the escape room that was challenging! The pools were nice, they can be quite crowded, but we kind of expected that. We use the kids camp multiple times for our young sons and they loved it. Camp ocean was amazing. They had so much fun they didn’t wanna leave. We also enjoyed the outdoor movies they had every night it was very relaxing.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We love the live shows, especially love and marriage that included the audience. The live shows they had in the promenade at night time. We’re also very nice to watch. You can tell that the staff work very hard to put the shows on.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
The kids had an absolute blast everything from the kids water park to the kids camp ocean. They had so much fun and so many activities they were constantly busy camp ocean was amazing and a nice break for the adults.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff all the way from housekeeping to the people who worked in the ocean camps for the kids to the weight. Staff was absolutely amazing and very helpful. I never came across anyone with a bad attitude or that wasn’t overly helpful. It was truly amazing.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I think the layout and design was very smooth. Easy access to everything everywhere we encountered was very clean. I honestly couldn’t complain about anything. For having more than 4000 people aboard a ship, constantly moving in using restaurants, etc. the ship is immaculately clean.
