Review summary

It was wonderful. It was my first cruise, but definitely not my last.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Let's be honest, embarkation is a pain in the butt. Long lines and long waits are the norm, but everyone was really nice and helpful, so that made it more bearable.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was amazing. Our waiter, Michael, was incredible. I wanted to bring him home with me. The drinks were outstanding. I loved everything about the dining and drinking experience.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

It was spring break, so once you waded through the college kids, the pool, hot tub, and bars were fun. We even went to the casino one evening, and it was fun.

Entertainment

We didn't see any of the shows.

Children's Programs

I don't have any kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All of our waiters/waitresses and especially our steward, were wonderful. Everyone always spoke when you met in the halls. I only had an issue with a couple of bartenders being a bit rude, but they were so busy, that it was understandable.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Everything was very clean, and I loved the way the ship was laid out. You could get to everything fairly easily.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Breathtaking. Absolutely amazing. We traveled with a group, and we were the only ones that upgraded to a balcony, so everyone wanted to hang out in our room, when we were in our room, that is.
