Review summary

Cruise was overall a great experience. The staff mentioned above went above and beyond. The rest of the staff was pretty good as well. There were a ton of kids on this boat which became annoying at times. The 18+ activity also were not regulated and had tons of kids at them.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Lines were pretty long and they changed my time a couple of times but overall pretty smooth.

Ship experiences

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Dwi and Barbara in the pub were excellent, Gregorio and Diane in the dining room were beyond excellent. Yogi in the casino and Dwi at the pool were also excellent. My room steward Sally went above and beyond, she made sure my room was always like the first time I walked in, always greater me in the hall and even chased me down to introduce herself. The staff above went above and beyond what was expected.

That's a summertime cruise for you! Tons of kids. I noticed that when I went on a NYE cruise back in 2019l. I am hoping my labor day 6 night not too many. That sounds like a pretty positive cruise!
