Review summary

The staff at the kids programs (Lodge and Beach Club) were incredible. Other then that, not really a special or impressive cruise experience. Mediocre.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

2+ hour line and inefficient process

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Mediocre. Didn’t try any specialty dining, too expensive.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Only one pool was open at a time. This should have been advertised, without two kids I would have picked a different cruise

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Awesome! My two kids had a great time!

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Mediocre. No way to get items like drinks by yourself and waiters were scarce. Difficult when you can’t leave kids alone.
