Review summary

We were in a group of 3 balcony rooms of 6 passengers. I would not get the drink package again, my husband and 2 others in our group do not drink enough to justify it (at least 7 drinks per day). I loved being able to dine together. Make the reservations for your specialty dining on the day you board. We enjoyed the "perfect couple" and similar activities in the Spinnaker.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Great specialty dining choices.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Trivia, hot tubs, all fun. The pool deck chairs get taken up pretty quickly in the morning (with towels and personal items). Bingo is too expensive for 3 games, just did the last one.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We loved the acrobatic show. Legends were great.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The staff were friendly and the Cruise Director were great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I found the ship very clean, layout was pretty easy to figure out. I loved the fish on the hallway carpets to direct which way was forward.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Bed was comfy. Adequate room to move around. Bathroom was a good size.
