Review summary

Enjoyable first cruise. We learned a lot about what to do and not do for next time.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Long line and slow process

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We actually enjoyed the Garden Cafe and Tropicana the most. Did not like Shanghai Noodle Bar at all.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Long lines for rock wall, ropes course, slides. Pool area always very crowded. Hot tubs always overcrowded - like 12 people at a time. Bingo was very expensive - $207 for 3 people/3 games. Trivia activities in atrium were fun for families. More seating would be nice.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Cirque was wonderful. Burn the Floor dancers were great. Escape the Bigtop was less fun than anticipated.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Charlie (room steward) was wonderful and always made sure our room was tidy and equipped with clean towels. All of the "washy girls" were great and readily available. Ship staff members were friendly and helpful. Very energetic and entertaining.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The common areas felt really crowded, but overall clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Basic cabin. Served our needs for the week. Slept 5 people.

Ship tip

Do not utilize the medical center on board unless absolutely necessary.
