Review summary

Overall a fun and entertaining cruise... but with the new ship I thought that 5he staterooms would be more efficient...not less... very tight...and there’s no way that the pool areas can handle a cruise ay 100% capacity

Serenity Adult-Only area

2 out of 5

Too small pool... the lounges were fine but you are on top of each other if you got into the pool ... there’s no way this will work at 100% capacity

Beach Pool and whirlpool

3 out of 5

Enjoyable but not big enough for a full capacity ship

I am also worried about room size for 3 people . The horizon was perfect with 2 bathrooms in the deluxe ocean view cabin . Trying to optimistic but ,,, just glad to back on a ship .

All the pools were jammed packed and only 4K people onboard. Same with the comedy clubs and casino. Once they get to full capacity those areas are not going to be fun.
