Review summary

Overall it was a great cruise. I felt like there were a few things I would have changed about what we planned. It was a great experience and enjoyed it alot.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was good. I felt like it should change somewhat daily at the buffet a little tired of the selection after 2 days. Also thought there should be more water and tea available to drink on each deck. If you were on Deck 5 or Deck 11 during the day it was hard to get water. No bottled water available made it hard for me.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Pool, theatre, games. Pool was very crowded. No seats available but it was a holiday week so I could understand. Enjoyed the comedy show and games.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Excellent. The comedy show with Troy was terrific. Also Grease the musical was great.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Excellent service and great waiters and room steward. Constancio our waiter was the best! So gracious, and commited to great service everytime. Very funny guy! We loved him! Loved Marc Anthony as well. We had him on the last night. He was very attentive and courteous to us. Michael was a wonderful room steward. Very personable and took good care of us.

Ship tip

Make sure to get a beverage package of some kind and a balcony room is the best.
