Review summary

Small ship, but amazing vacation and one we will never forget. For kids activities we will stick to Carnival.

Embarkation

Carnival is a much smoother embarkation process

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Nice change to the food and loved the specialty dining options.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Sports deck closed way too early (5pm), shuffleboard closed at 8, had to make a formal complaint about a life guard giving kids a 5 minute time out. Fitness center was awesome.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Aerial show was amazing. Needs more comedy shows and the theater needs a whole need remodel.

Children's Programs

2 out of 5
Kids should be able to check themselves in and out of cloud at a certain age during the day.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The dressing area is outside of the bathroom for that very reason. It is way to small to get fully dressed in there. I don't know how "friends" sailing together manage.
