Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food in the dining room ok, same as the buffet.

Calumet Buffet

3 out of 5

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

fitness center small but well maintained

The Garden Pool

2 out of 5

Pools and jacuzzis very crowded with kids running wild and unsupervised.

Entertainment

Like Carnival, shows were approximately 30 minutes which was perfect. The acrobats and dancers made the shows enjoyable.

Rooms were comfortable and the stewards made sure rooms were cleaned 3 times a day

Thank you for taking the time to review your Cruise. It is helpful to others. There are to many complainers that review and I was beginning to feel like only the not happy ones write reviews. I will always make my day fun and appreciative. And then I always have a wonderful day.
