Review summary

Our cruise agent Linda should have advised us that the ship was small and old with far less amenities than we were used to. We've gone on many cruises, mostly with RCCL. This didn't compare. The spa was small. There were very few activities for kids. The entertainment was poor. The rooms were tiny and balconys very small. The only good things were the specialty restaurants and the unlimited drinks.

Next time we are fing gong back to RCCL.

Before going to Atlantis book a room at the hotel. Hotel guests can go on the rides for free. Otherwise it's $150 per person per day.

I myself like the mega ships. Everyone is different.

P.S. Great tip on Atlantis to book a room to save money and you get a place to shower and change.

Thank you for a great review. it is always good when you can list the things that are not good when you leave a bad review. You did a great job at that.

Shops on the Sky ok yeah fire your travel agent , Plenty of drinks to go around but shops is not the first thing I think about when booking the Sky. Sailing the Sky on Jan 16 , 2017 so I guess I will find out for myself there is no Sears?????? Shucks......
