Review summary

Would do it again. It was a great way to get the whole family together for a fun celebration. The teenagers had a super time with all of the food options.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
It was fast and easy. The personnel were professional and friendly. We would have boarded sooner but the advertised times were not the actual times. My grandchildren were so excited they wanted to get on the ship as soon as possible.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Personnel were great. Food was OK. we have been on cruises where the food was better. I need to check but I think I paid more for my soda cup online than what others paid on board. We really enjoyed Baldwin, our server. Also, we were pleased when the 2 birthdays and the 50th anniversary were recognized.
