Review summary

It was a nice clean ship. The food was very good. The staff was amazing. The only downfall was too many people for the accommodations. The elevators were always full, always a wait to get to another level. The pool area was way too small for the number of passengers.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
There was no Greeting or Information given when we got on the boat. We didn't know what level we were on or what to do next.

Appreciate your detailed feedback. Cruising during Spring Break will increase the probability of large crowds. Glad you enjoyed your cruise in spite of the crowds.
