Review summary

The shows were great and I loved the ability to stop at different places. This was my family's first cruise and we didn't know what to expect. We didn't pay extra for the dining venues so this review would be for the buffet and main dining room. The food in the buffet was good, but you get tired of eating the same thing. The dining room food was excellent. I loved that you could ask for more of an item. My son loved the fact he could eat a steak every night. What I didn't like was the constant push to purchase a beverage package and the other restaurants on the ship. Why can't they just have a separate table/counter for purchasing these, and not have them asking you constantly to buy, buy, buy? We had interior rooms and they were a decent size. I would never put 4 people in one of them. You wouldn't be able to walk around. We were on deck 10 and I wouldn't want to go any higher. The cruise was nice, but just too many people for our liking. The pools were overly crowded. We may cruise again in the future, but not for a while. We had a little motion/seasickness that increased when I came back on land. Lasted a few days. Love the ports!  Roatan waters were the best for coral and fish. Can't comment on teen programs, as my kids wouldn't really do much with them.

Inside was fine. Because of the darkness we slept later. Just enough room for 2. Wouldn't put 4 in there.

Ship tip

Plan your excursions before you come to save you the headache. Don't take too many clothes. Mostly used dresses (2 formal), take at least 2-3 bathing suits and coverups. You will wear these the most.
