Review summary

Overall a good experience. Ship was lovely but may be too many people for me personally. Hard to find a spot to sunbathe on at sea days (everyone wanted to be in back where it was warm)

Embarkation

5 out of 5

This is my first cruise so I didn't know what to expect. I was alone with my 3 kids and it was still smooth and efficient and fast moving. nice job!

Entertainment

3 out of 5

I only went to one theatre performance and it was mediocre but I heard that the best performances were on other nights. DJ seemed good.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

Should have larger space for kids. Felt guilty leaving them there to a degree. One of three kids enjoyed it.
