Review summary

Great overall first cruise with family! We are hooked🛳🏝

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation went better than I had expected for a ship this size and with our group of 8 including 4 kids under age 7

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The quality of all the food on board did not disappoint. The best breakfast was at Johnny Rockets, Izumi Sushi was an excellent experience and the main dining room service was a treat.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Traveling with 4 young kids there was no shortage of onboard activities. The splash pad/kid pool was never too overly crowded, however the hottubs were a little cramped. They loved the carousel & never stood in line any length of time.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The ice show was probably the best show we saw on board, the dive show had great stunts but the "story" they were going for was a little hard to follow for me. The headliner show Rookie was also great.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5

Our kids did not participate in any kid clubs or groups but they had a blast with all other activities and entertainment, including the DreamWorks meet and greets.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

For the amount of people on this ship we were pleasantly surprised at how clean everything stayed.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This being our first cruise I really don't have a baseline to compare this cabin to but I'll give it 5 stars on everything and if I could rate the shower higher I would.
