Aside from the smelly bathroom water and horrible wifi, the trip was fantastic. I would still go again but not pay extra for more wifi.

Everyone was so kind and helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I didn't like that the numbers of the room were odd on one side and even on the other. It was a bit confusing. So it took a few days to get used to it. Otherwise, it was fine.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

There was 3 of us in the room. We split the queen size bed to 2 twins. My younger son slept on the top bunk bed and we kept our luggage on the bottom bunk. The balcony was a decent size and on a great side of the ship. The shower pressure was excellent although the water in the bathroom smelled bad.

Ship tip

I got a fun package for my kids who are 17 & 20. It was too much. My oldest didn't use it and it went to waist. 1 was plenty for my youngest.

Getting off to go to florida was a hot mess. Lines were ridiculous and seemed a bit disorganized.

Appreciate your detailed feedback. This must be your first cruise, as many cruise lines have odd and even split. The easy way to remember is even (4 letters) is on the port (4 letters) or left (4 letters) side of the ship. At least it’s been that way on all of the ships we’ve sailed. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.
