Review summary

This was our first cruise and it was great. The ship was beautiful and our room was comfortable. The food was great. I enjoyed the dinners where they really catered to your needs to try and please you. The food was excellent. We went to the Italian specialty restaurant and I was blown away - it was great! The pools and jacuzzis were just okay - they could have been a little warmer and more spacious. The rock climbing wall was a neat thing to do.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The buffet style dining was good especially for breakfast when you could get a little of everything! The sit down downing was fabulous beause they really catered to your every need! The Italian specialty restaurant was great - I'm hungry just thinking about it!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

There is so much to do that it is almost overwhelming. I thought the shows could have been a little better but they were still good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was very friendly and had good attitudes. At dinner they were always willing to cater to our needs and remembered from day to day certain preferences.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This was our first cruise and I was worried about feeling claustrophobic. We stayed in an oceanview room with a balcony and it was very spacious considering my expectation was that it was going to be very small. Having a balcony was the best - I would highly recommend it for the extra money.
