Review summary

1st cruise I have ever been on and I will definitely be going on more cruises. I'd like to experience a bigger ship next time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It went very quickly. We unfortunately were some of the last few people to board the ship. There were no lines to wait in.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food was good. We mostly ate in the buffet. They did try to change up the food everyday but I noticed there didn't have too many options besides burgers and hot dogs for kids. I would have liked to see some chicken choices for kids like chicken tenders.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

I loved all the activities on the ship. While I didn't participate in all of them, it was so much fun to watch everyone having a good time!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

I only got to see one show on the ship because I was so busy doing all the other fun things on the ship. We got to see Tony Tillman perform! It was SO good!! He was very funny and entertaining and was a great singer! I would see him live in my hometown if he was performing!

Children's Programs

My children didn't want to join these activities. There was plenty for them to do in other parts of the ship and we had a lot of family around to take them to do things.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The crew on this ship was so amazing! Everyone is so happy and helpful. The lady at the coffee shop was great! I was so surprised that she remembered who I was! Also, our room attendant was the BEST! I can't remember his name but I spoiled us with treats almost everyday!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

I was shocked at how clean the ship is kept with all of the passengers on board. I felt bad just leaving my glasses and plates laying around. Aside from the normal wear and tear, the ship was very well cleaned.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I had done some research about the ship before hand and the cabins didn't seem very large. When we walked in, I was pleasantly surprised by the size of it. It was perfect for my husband and I. All of the amenities worked in our room. The views from the balcony were amazing!
