Review summary

Overall it was a good experience. We had a group of 11 family members. The shows were great and the ship was nice. It would be nice to have more indoor options for when it is too cold / windy for outdoor activities.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Overall good experience. We boarded sooner than expected.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I enjoyed the quieter atmosphere of the dining rooms more than the chaos of the buffet. Food was always good. The only disappointment was the seafood night in the buffet; the actually seafood choices were very limited (lots of shrimp, a salmon entree, and tilapia).

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Did the ropes course and walked the plank. Pools were generally too crowded but we did get in hot tub in Spice once. Weather of course kept ropes course closed fairly often.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved Rock of Ages and Burn the Floor. Circus show was good too.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff was always friendly and helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Would have been better if buffet was centrally located.

We are going next week for my mom's 80th birthday. There are 15 of us going. Did you find it difficult meeting up? Did you use the iconceirge app to text each other? I heard it doesn't actually work well and is a waste of money. Any tips?
