Review summary

This was our first cruise, we heard from everyone on the cruise that the weather, and cancelations were not normal. Very frustrating that we paid as much as we did when half the ship was closed most the time and we didn't go to the places we were suppose to. We could even enjoy chairs on the ship because staff doesn't enforce no holding policies. Undecided if we would gave a cruise a chance again.

If we did another cruise with 4, I'd hope for a stateroom or bigger.

Ship tip

Get with someone who's been, no one explains things in your package. No information provided on ship about package either.

You couldn't get anywhere, due to everyone hounding you for the same thing. They were stopping you from walking to ask you something 12 other people just asked and they heard your answer. Very dirty place.

Don’t let the weather on that cruise ruin your cruising experience, we have all had crappie weather cruises. Try going to Bermuda . Not a lot of pushy people trying to sell you crap…

Wonderful Cruise, the staff were extremely pleasant and the ship is beautiful. It is a large ship but very easy to locate places once on board. The food was fabulous!
