Embarkation was smooth and fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Dining rooms and specialty dining were great. The buffet was poor and needs much improvement.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Mini golf was fun. Too many people and kids to enjoy pools and hot tubs.

Entertainment

Average. Footloose was good but a bit long. Elements was poor. Rob Little (comedian) was really funny for the adult show. Beetles show was good.

No kids.
