Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

All food was delicious. Specialty dining options were great. Drink options are very limited without the drink packages. Iced tea, lemonade, water and coffee are the only drinks included except juices that are available at breakfast only. Some portions at specialty dining were made small,you can usually order 2 entree’s.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Lots of great entertainment. Good shows and a lot of great options. Pools are quite small and VERY COLD, but very nice surroundings. Serenity pool is very peaceful for adults and the other pools are great for families with children and those that like to people watch. Dive in movies are very fun.

Fun times.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Most staff were very nice. Dealers in the casino were not as friendly as we are used to. Otherwise staff was 5 star.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean ship! Public bathrooms not always the cleanest. Automatic Doors on the public bathrooms are horrible! The ones that are automatic have a 20 second delay to shut. There are much better options. The ones that are not automatic have green/red color on locks to see if it is occupied. Most of these are worn off, so you can never tell if it is open. ANNOYING
