Review summary

There were 4600 Passengers on this ship. 700 of them children. The first port of call was canceled because of weather. All in all it was a very enjoyable cruise. If you put a smaller ship (half the passengers) next to this one and gave me the option with the same itinerary, I’d go on the smaller ship.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Long lines that were moving fast. Priority Line intact once inside building.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was good, but not five star worthy. Our best experience was at Moderno’s. Excellent Salad Bar and a great variety of meats.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Most cruise staff activities were in the atrium and while fun, very loud. The ship does not have a Spinnaker Lounge to contain such events.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We watched Burn the Floor and Six. Excellent. Even from the front row.

Children's Programs

We had no kids with us.

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

Missed a quiet bar to be able to sit and talk to our friends.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Size was okay. The two upper beds made it difficult to stand straight up right out bed. Also there was one closet and no drawer space.

I was on the same ship! Great review. Too bad you didn't get off in Grand Cayman. The beach was amazing, best part of our cruise. The tender out was super easy and a nice boat ride. Coming back was a long line though. Glad you had fun.
