Review summary

Was a good cruise with my parents and siblings. Ports were blah, spa was great, schedule of activities and hot tubs could use some work.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Was pretty smooth. No hickups

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffet was blah. Seemed like food sitting out for hours. Lack of options for lunch from 11am till 5pm. Brazilian steakhouse was great, Italian restaurant was ok, don't expect classic Italian options like lasagna or chicken parm, had to google most of the options to see what they were.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Hot tubs weren't hot and they closed them way to early (like 10pm). Every night you would see dozens of people looking for hot tubs and going away disappointed. The schedule was a bit wonky. Always seemed the 2 or 3 things a day I wanted to do, were at the same times. Wish there was more to do during the day. Most interesting options happen early evening.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
DJs were good. Staff was great.
