Review summary

For my first big cruise it was a great experience. Just relaxing by the pool and the excursions were lots of fun. Loved all the entertainment but wish there was more info on the parties. Heard nothing about the 70’s and 90’s parties. Loved learning about Bermuda on our tour and swimming with the dolphins was amazing.

Buffet was only good for breakfast and lunch. The main dining was great service and food. Needed more seafood selections.

Onboard Activities

Pools - wish there were more it was crowded and if you weren’t on deck by 6:30 am you didn’t get a lounge chair. Annoying
