Review summary

All in all we had a wonderful time. Relaxing and adventurous. Beverage package and specialty dining is a must if your a drinker and want more food variety. Worth the money for sure

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Lines were long but moved along okay. The curbside luggage drop off was great

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Most of the food was great and plentiful. Nice variety and options.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The physical onboard activities were just okay. The rock climbing wall was only open a few hours a day and the pools were bombarded by teenagers

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were very entertaining and able to offer a little bit of everything

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff is helpful and courteous. Only complaint is on the same deck and same type of stateroom some stewards gave little extra perks than others

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship is clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

The room was accommodating for myself and my partner. We felt comfortable without feeling like we were on top of each other

Be patient and expect to wait on small fast moving lines for things like shows, buffets, etc
