Review summary

It’s beautiful, but because there are so many people on it... everything sells out. Long lines. Unsupervised kids swarm the ship. The staff (and passengers) are all rude. Such a disappointing experience.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Same as other cruises

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

I actually enjoyed the food. I also went with the ultimate drink package (big boozer).

Vibe Beach Club

3 out of 5

I had the Vibe pass (board early and go straight to the Social) and thermal suite. It was too humid to really enjoy it and the bar closes early. Save your money.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Go-karts were fun, but we were only able to do it once. They were fully booked.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Jersey Boys and Six were terrific. The piano entertainers were a bit boring.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

Oh lord. Very few smiled. Most were rude.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Beautiful ship. Aside from having way too many staterooms, it’s absolutely gorgeous.
