Review summary

I loved the Cruise. The ship is beautiful and it is laid out to avoid unmanageable long lines. However the pools are the size of bathtubs. No swimming just dunking. Loved the layout of the Lido eating stations. There was always somewhere to sit

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy peasy..on board less than 1 hour

Loved the shows that I saw. Vodu Moon was awesome.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Felt restaurants were understaffed. Even with reservations there was hour wait to be seated and then 30-40 min before orders taken. Because of slow service we’re not able to attend shows

Ship Quality

The clubs occupancy no where match the occupancy of the ship. No seats

Cabin / Stateroom

Loved my balcony cabin
