The Solarium pools and hot tubs were Nice and relaxing and the perfect temperature. Enjoyed watching people do the IFly and Flo Ryder.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The juggler was good. The TwoSeventy show was mediocre. Journey tribute band was excellent. The Live, Love, Legs was alright. The only show that was awesome was the ship band. The curly haired singer was awesome! She could sing a wide range from Bruno Mars to Led Zeppelin. She and the rest of the ships band were so entertaining!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our balcony lay out was awesome. There is a lot more storage now. Two closets: one for my husband and myself. There were a lot more drawers in our balcony than we have ever had.
