Review summary

very nice ship , plenty of things to do, lots of walking, bathrooms too small, toilet positioning not big and tall friendly, shower water pressure is non existent. food should be better.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
port moves fast drive up garage, drop off luggage with porter who places them on cart then you all drive up ramp to park car and walk to terminal connected to garbage. so fast and easy.

Food and Dining

food left a lot to be desired for ….. blue iguana “free option” by the pool / lido area had great tacos. buffett was so crowded and food just ok. could not find fresh fruit, only small area between cookies and never strawberries. felt limited and so crowded at times by the time you found a place to eat your food was even colder

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
first of all the sail away on lido deck really pumps you up if you aren’t already ! and a must see is family feud and the love and marriage love game shows, they were great shows and very funny and entertaining

BOLT Ultimate Sea Coaster

5 out of 5

reserve bolt as soon as you board since it fills up fast and/or may be broken if you wait to ride later. you sign up on the hub app , $15. cost and just show up at the time. it’s fast and goes around twice.

Mardi Gras Theater

5 out of 5

watched family feud and love and marriage game shows. get there early as it fills up fast and not very big theater.

15yr old son met so many people his age, we barely saw him and had dinner only twice with him as he had his own plans all the time.

Ship Quality

seems like the flow of ship decks was confusing to get to all areas. the hallway on the fifth floor was very wide like we’ve never seen before. biggest complaint is the SMALL bathroom, big and tall peeps would agree, they could have thought of that instead of making larger hallways ! good thing there’s plenty of bathrooms on the ship to pick from that offer comfortable toilet space ! lol and then there is the NO PRESSURE SHOWER HEAD, took twice as long to get your shower done. hubby even took it apart to try and remove the cartridge that limits water flow but i guess they thought of that and made it impossible and placed the cartridge elsewhere inside
