Embarkation

3 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

There was never seating. No matter what time you went to eat at any of the specialty or dining rooms. They were always booked and had no seating

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Everything was way to crowded. People kept saving seats by the pool but never came back to sit on them. The lines for the other on board activities were extremely long or not even open

Entertainment

All the shows were booked way before we even got on the ship.

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Barley saw any staff. I believe we saw our room steward a handful of times. There was never any staff in the entrances to the dining rooms.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Again there was no room for anyone to sit for any of the activities they had in the atrium or any of the other places. If you are going to have activities on a very big ship with a lot of people you need to offer more then one session a day and make it so that everyone gets a chance to participate or watch

Ship tip

Don’t. Way too crowded. Never any seating. Specialty restaurant always booked and the shows as well.

Port Canaveral, Florida

4 out of 5

Florida was great but we arrived into port late, took almost 2 hours for our ship to be cleared so we could leave the ship and our excursion closed 30 mins after we arrived and everything in the place was closed. Very disappointed

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

1 out of 5

Never made it off the boat. Apparently no one ever leaves the boat in this island. Why have it on our itinerary if you aren’t ever gonna let people off to explore the island
