Review summary

My husband and I had a relaxing time. Tried twice to visit the pool but as described above was impossible to get to. We found other things to do. We try to cruise when children are supposed to be in school but it didn't work this time. Maybe I was off on my time line. My fault.

There were so many children on this ship/itinerary that activities were impossible to get to. Pools were so jammed! Fitness center was ok.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Love the ships orchestra. They had a wonderful Veterans Day Ceremony.

Children's Programs

I didn't bring kids. but there were so many on board that families had to rush their kids to the Adventure Ocean to get them in. Once they were full, they had to turn kids away every single day!

Service and Staff

Our stateroom attendant was awesome. Everything was always spotless..twice a day.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship was a clean as they could get it as it needed an upgrade bad. Lots of rust, but it didn't take away from the wonderful sound of the ocean lapping up against the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

We had an aft balcony. It was very nice....
