This trip was a much anticipated experience for us and for some, it was the trip of a lifetime. Some members had never cruised before while others had not travelled internationally. Overall, the cruise experience was good. The food was surprisingly good. There were a LOT of people on the cruise, especially in the buffet dining areas. The cruiseline app had lots of errors and communication to passengers on the ship was less than desirable.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
It was the easiest, most efficient embarkation that I've ever experienced. It only took 10 minutes to complete it and board the ship.

Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Overall the food was very good, especially in the main dining rooms and specialty restaurants. We purchased the 4 specialty dining package and enjoyed each. The food at the buffet was good, but the crowds of people were horrendous.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
The onboard activities were ok. We attended a magic show and played bingo. However, most of the time, we entertained ourselves within our group.
Entertainment

Ship tip
Don't expect much from the wifi service. There were issues with it throughout the trip.
