Review summary

Our family has been cruising for Christmas since 2013. Always enjoy worrying about nothing except spending time with family, eating, drinking, and relaxing. DON'T get the wifi package! Unplug from the world and recharge your batteries.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was quick and painless.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food and drinks, as always, we're fabulous. You must visit the mojito bar and try the jalapeño cucumber mojito.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Glow party was fun. We closed it down. Not bad for old folks.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Both shows are a must see! Malevo is high energy and intense. The Choir of Man was very entertaining. You know you are at a great show when before the show begins, the cast invites the audience to the stage and hands out ales.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Asep, our room steward, was fabulous! I can't speak highly enough of him. No one else really went above and beyond. Just the typical high level of service.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Didn't care for the design of the pool. You aren't able to stand in the pool and enjoy a drink. The pool is 6'8" except for the "wings" that are around 6" deep.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was great! Plenty of outlets which was nice.

Ship tip

Definitely try the jalapeño cucumber mojito!!!
