Review summary

Enjoyed the trip. The kids liked Richards stories. Even for a family of 4, an inside room can work. Helps to have an organized wife. We all ate too much :)

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was pretty good. Good variety. Service other than buffet was very slow. I would've liked for the buffet to be open 24/7. Much quicker

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the hot tubs and pools. Also ping pong, shuffle board, and game room. Stayed up late playing monopoly. I liked the daily crosswords and suduko

Totally agree! Plenty of room in there. I can do without a balcony, but Have to be able to see outside. We had 3 adult's a fee year's back, and had no problem with the space :-D
