Review summary
Love that one could walk all around the ship on the waterfront deck.
Food was terrific I have no complaints. and the staff is courteous and accommodating. The spa area was very nice and seemed to be kept well and was very happy that I got to experience a discounted day pass while in port it was very relaxing.
Staff was always upbeat and friendly throughout the entire ship.
I was not impressed with the show Rock of Ages on this ship and found the one show to be vulgar and offensive. ( although the music was terrific) and the actors very talented. But unfortunately I did not find it to be very kid friendly and the parents should be warned that it is an R rated show!
Although the ship was kept in tip top shape and very clean, the casino area smelled horrible because of the smokers . I am not a gambler so thankfully I was able to avoid this area but not to happy that I had to maneuver around it while going from aft to forward or visa versa. I would have liked to try one of the restaurants but sadly it was located very close to the casino area.
Although the Atrium, was a very nice area, there was limited seating for some of the activities and also some of the activities were not too family friendly and my major complaint about that area was that it was way too loud. It was uncomfortable to sit there and enjoy the entertainers or the cruise directors( who were awesome by the way.
Also-- the yoga class I took was good but the cruise ship should really hire a yoga instructor for this ! the schedule was all messed up and out of 2 yoga classes that I paid for, I only was able to take 1 ( I did get my money back thank you ) but as someone who practices yoga regularly it would have been nice to take a couple of classes from a real yoga instructor.
but all in all I had a great time. regardless !!!!! I would just avoid the shows and not take a yoga class. lol but the Gym area was nice and clean. no complaints about that. sorry for the negative remarks. but you wanted an honest opinion.

Ship tip
there are many complimentary restaurants that serve breakfast besides the main buffet. don't limit yourself to just that. it's easy to find a nice relaxing quiet spot to read/take a nap or just people watch on the waterfront deck.
Ports of call
Port Canaveral, Florida Did not visit port
Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas
