Review summary

What a wonderful cruise even during a pandemic! It does make you forget about all the bad going on in the world. The staff was outstanding, they were very attentive and took great care of you! They always were smiling and saying hello! Very safe and clean ship and very adamant about the mask wearing so I felt very safe! TONS of food and beverage options, lots of entertainment even though I wish they had a little more activities/events for younger people under 21 or 18. BUT overall this was a fabulous getaway from living in the super cold northeast part of the country during January!

Our main dining room lead server, George, was the BEST! He really took good care of us, very attentive and entertaining! He would give us great wine suggestions to go with our meals! Made our dinnertime even better!

The roller coaster, Bolt, was super awesome and fun! I did the ropes course, water slides, almost all of the pools and even the spa!

Entertainment

Plenty of shows to attend, superb cast! I was blown away by how much they have to learn for each of the different shows they put on !

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This cabin size was perfect! We had two of us in this cabin, and our young adult children were in one across the other side of ship. Great room size, plenty of storage, balcony was wonderful! and mostly loved that the shower stalls were not the curtains, it was the glass door!

Ship tip

Get ready to do a lot of walking because there is a LOT on this ship to explore and do!

We did a trip over to a private area for lunch and swimming and shopping and tequila tasting. Was wonderful, got to have authentic mexican guacamole made live for us to eat! I also did the Spa Fish at the excursion, which was awesome!
