Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main dining room food was delicious! Being able to choose more than one starter and entree was perfect and I didn’t feel I missed out on any particular item I really wanted to try. The food items were consistent and well flavored.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The slides were super fast and fun! I went on each slide about 5 times. My husband did the flow rider for the first time and really enjoyed it thought he probably wished for a little more instruction as a first timer.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The nightly themed parties are what it’s about! A mini Zumba class hehe I loved it. The night clubs were bumpin’. Ed Alonzo was hilarious and I did not stop laughing the whole show. Grease was a great musical and the comedian was also funny though his name escapes my brain, Miguel I believe.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Iwayan and Merta during dining were top notch and attentive. We were never without drinks, clean utensils and our food was delivered in a timely manner.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Kane kept our room clean and with fresh towels. We came back to a neatly made bed and a cute towel friend. Kane was super helpful when we asked for extra towels and made sure to always greet us with a smile and the appropriate greeting of the day. Kane also helped us turn in our laundry for pressing.

Ship tip

Enjoy your time. Check the daily calendar and join the different activities. If you want to do trivia, show up early! Have fun! Enjoy your fellow cruisers and just know we are all there to have fun and enjoy the ports and days at see. Be kind and polite always. You will probably bump into the same people all week.
