Review summary

As a first time cruiser we felt the size of the ship was a bit overwhelming for all of us. We did manage to have a lot of fun regardless. Just wish some of the venues like the comedy clubs and shows had a bigger space,it all seem pretty crammed for the amount of passengers on board the ship.

While it was a little tight for a family of four, it was very pretty and always clean.

Ship tip

Wouldn’t advise you go on the biggest ship audible has as a first time cruiser. While we enjoy the experience the size of the ship and people on board was a little overwhelming for us. We still managed to have a very good time.
