Review summary

Overall awesome experience. Felt very safe. Staff was super friendly and helpful. Cleaning was above and beyond. Still many activities to do despite COVID. Food was great and lots of selection. There was one or two items in main dining that were not the most amazing, like dry salmon once but still excellent overall. The drink packages and drinks in general are very expensive. I knew to expect that but it’s still one thing I don’t like. I would buy a drink package if it were reasonable, maybe $50/day vs $70-80.

Food and Dining

Windjammer (buffet) was awesome with lots of selection. Main dining room had amazing service. Had excellent lamb but salmon was dry. Drinks and drink packages are too expensive.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We enjoyed pools, whirlpools, slide and putt-putt. I did get to the fitness center once and it was very nice.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Excellent entertainment. We especially enjoyed the ice show and all theater shows. We also liked karaoke, Latin music, big band show and all the trivia contests.

Children's Programs

No kids in our group

Cani was perfect for us. Big enough with view. We also like the location and it wasn’t noisy at all.
