Review summary

It was a very enjoyable cruise. Shows were wonderful. Staff was pleasant. The cruise director did a nice job getting people involved. We have been on RC and Carnival and have wonderful times on both.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

We liked all the food options, but everything is very spaced out. At Big chicken I wish they had a plate because the dish is just big enough for your chicken and fries and nothing else. Our dinner at Chibang was delicious. The buffet was very limited for dinner, so we just would go somewhere else if didn't like what was being served.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We rode on the Bolt coaster and had a blast. Highly recommend

Entertainment

Sometimes the shows conflicted with other shows times. All the shows I saw were excellent.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

I gave it 4 stars just because food was on multiple decks, and if I wanted pizza (deck 8) and a burger (deck 17) just made it inconvenient. Other than that I enjoyed the layout.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had a cove balcony, and it was perfect. The bathroom was the smallest so far out of 14 cruises.

Ship tip

Check your account daily. We had someone using our room number to get drinks. Servers were not checking or asking for cards in the casino or some bars.
