Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food was okay. Nothing to rave about. Service was super slow. But when you hire less staff that happens. The help are not happy and it shows.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Crowded, noisy. We only went once. Service was bad. Never did get our dessert. We waited 20 minutes for it and decided to leave.

Pool

4 out of 5

The venue is nice but people place towels with clips on their chairs early in the morning and then leave the area. There was no one in the pool and all seats were reserved.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We enjoyed the performances. Wish they had more live music around the pool area.

Children's Programs

We did beach escape. There wasn’t really a beach. We went to a resort that was nice but the service was rude. Our bus ran out of gas. We waited a half hour in an open air bus for gas.
