Review summary

Spring break trip with 16 & 14 year old. 1st time cruising for hubby and kids. 4th cruise for me. Great ports and everyone enjoyed their time. We did not utilize the Teen Program. I will think twice about booking over Spring Break again. Too many unsupervised, disrespectful kids running around. Disappointing to see such a lack of manners and rude behavior from a lot of them.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Fast, easy, and very little to almost no wait.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Lots of options to choose from. Specialty dining was included in our Free At Sea promotion but we gave it up since it didn't include the 3rd & 4th person in the cabin. No point in paying additional fees for food when there are plenty of good included options already available.

Entertainment

Choir of Man & Beetles Invasion were both excellent. Disappointed they don't offer other big shows like they used to in the past.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

As many people have already commented, the pool area is way too small for a Caribbean cruise carrying this many passengers. Super overcrowded.
