Review summary

By this being my first cruise, I absolutely loved it. The hospitality you will receive on board is mind-blowing. I loved every minute of it

Embarkation

5 out of 5

The line was long but took maybe 45 min to board.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food and drinks were great. I stayed mainly in the maltines bar and was getting served by Mervin and Jamie, who were the best.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

I didn't get into the pool because it was only 2 seconds long lol but the activities on board definitely kept me active.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The dj kept the parties rocking. The only show they have is elements but it is a good show.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I shared the room with my sister, but the space wasn't bad. The balcony at the front of the ship is really nice also.

Ship tip

Make sure you plan out your days accordingly because it can become overwhelming, and you may miss out on some really cool things to do.
