Review summary

Christmas cruise however didn’t feel very much like Christmas. Only one tree in a corner. Passenger was ‘Santa’. Had to find him to get pictures. Would have been nice have a Santa picture time for kids.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
MDR was ok - we were sat in a corner in which you could not see or participate in any of the activities. Buffet was good. Guys, taco place and pizza were great. Unable to do any of the other restaurants due to having assigned dining- meant we had wait till 8pm to see if we could get in.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Bolt, ropes course, water park were awesome. Hot tubes were not hot. And kids in them - mostly because the pool water was way too cold.

Entertainment

Shows were great!

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
Club for teens 12-14 was non-existent. Only thing for them to do was play hours of Xbox. So, not much for them to do except wander in groups.

Ship Quality

Loves the ship. Easy to get around. Only complaint is that popular places like the piano bar and center stage have not enough seating for people - lots having to stand.
