Review summary

I liked this cruise because I thought it was a nice way for a family to travel together; however, there were a lot of high school students on board and I think they took over the pool area. I believe that the DJ encouraged poor behavior with his choice of music.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was good, the specialty restaurants that we went to three times were nothing to rave about. We would not go to any of the specialty restaurants again.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

We thought "Deal or No Deal" and Bingo to be a rip-off. The other activities were adequate.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Wonderful shows!!! We enjoyed each and every evening.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

We had a couple of very attentive service and staff members, but overall, the service and staff were okay.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

I felt that the ship could have been kept cleaner, there were not enough trash containers in the pool area. The bathrooms in the pool area were terrible, the first day they were overused and wet and dirty, I went back to my room throughout the cruise to use the bathroom facilities because I was so put off with the pool area bathrooms.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Room was spacious with plenty of storage space for luggage and clothing. We loved the balcony and the location of the cabin.

Ship tip

Don't eat at the specialty restaurants, the food and service is just as good at the "free style" dining rooms. Make sure you take chairs & umbrellas on the cruise as a lot of the beaches don't offer chairs or umbrellas for rent and if they do, it's VERY EXPENSIVE.
