Easy process. We were onboard in less than ten minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Main dining about 45 minute wait. Buffett had no real options and very basic. Breakfast was crowded. Chibang was excellent and probably the best meal. Guy Burger overrated.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lots of trivia shows. Good game shows. We were always busy. The theme parties were the highlight.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Best theme parties that I ever attended on a cruise. Kyndall was probably the best cruise director I ever seen.

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

Great ship. Lots to do. Nice layout.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Inside cabin was spacious. It sucks that no ironing in the room and you must use the ironing board rooms.

Ship tip

Enjoy all the parties and shows.
