Review summary

Given it was a sold out cruise with 5,000 plus guests we never felt crowded. Already have another cruise booked this year.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarking was fast and easy arrived a little before check in time and walked straight to check-in counter.Slight hiccup where port authority trainee lost my daughter on our reservation but quickly recovered after asking for help.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

By far our favorite food we have cruised other lines and this is definitely our favorite. We enjoyed everything we had even my youngest ate off the main dining room menu without issue.

Panorama Restaurant

5 out of 5

Our waiter was fantastic and always left very full and happy.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The indoor pool (Bamboo) was a highlight, I enjoy shade. The water park was endless hours of fun. The only downside is seating is a little odd. The arcade is okay nothing special. Only four stars because my husband said he wanted more pool deck activities (ie Cornhole).

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The shows are fabulous in the theater. We paid for the Houdini show one night well worth the money would have seen both had I known how great it was going to be.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was clean and comfortable. Balcony is slightly larger given the angle which was nice. Kids said bunks slept well. Our bed was comfortable and slept well.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

Did self-walk off like we normally did not expect 80%of the boat to do the same. Got to the 5th floor to disembark around 7:25 and off the boat before 8 even with all the extra people.
