Review summary

This was an average cruise, but the service and food were great! My first cruise on a Freedom class ship which really doesn’t compare to the larger ships, and it shouldn’t. For a first time cruiser this would be great and the crowd size was very manageable.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Smooth process when you use the app.

Ship experiences

Basketball and corn hole. Wasn’t interested in much else.

Entertainment

Service was great wherever we went.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Easy to navigate around the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The room had plenty of space for my wife and I, but the was a musky odor each time we entered it.

Ship tip

Don’t expect the same experience you get from an Oasis class ship.

We did an island bus tour. Beautiful views of the ocean but too many donkeys wandering around.
