Chic

5 out of 5

Thank you to our wait staff, Elli and Cornelius, who not only gave great service, but awesome magic tricks for my daughter.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We didn’t get to do a lot of things due to bad weather later in our cruise. That can’t be helped, we should have did more in the first week.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The show that we saw were awesome. Good mixture of bands and show to suit most people. Would be nice to have more live music being played during the day.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5
Our daughter loved the kids room. She also enjoyed the bumper cars and roller skating.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
99% of the staff are awesome and go above and beyond, but as in every workplace there are a few bad eggs.

Ship tip

If you want to do the Northstar, Wave Rider or I Fly book them at the start of your cruise. We booked towards the end and because the weather got a bit rough, we were unable to do any of them
