Review summary

I was disappointed with the pool. There was a lot of adults drinking and sitting on the tanning ledge. Very intimidating for children to have to go around all of the adults. The adult pool was empty and the childrens pool was for very young children. We went into the pool once when all the adults went to an event. The hot tub had little children in it and I’m guessing it’s because they couldn’t get into the pool. The pool was the only disappointing part of my trip.

sales people tried to entice you in. I felt they are a bit pushy so I didn’t really go into the shops. I like to look around at my leisure

Because this ship is old and not suited for kids. Next time try a larger ship with kids pools, water slides , rock walls. Radiance class is boring for most people.
