Review summary

The cruise was fantastic. No need to improve anything, except for the first show, titled Screen to Stage, or something like that. We didn't recognize many of the songs, and a few of them were definitely not kid friendly. We were told almost 1/4 of the passengers were kids, so kind of weird that this would not be considered when putting a show together during an early time. Besides that, everything was great!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth and fast. Earlier than anticipated.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food in MDR and buffets was outstanding! No complaints about anything! Nice variety and quality.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
rock wall, trivia games, family games, spinning classes, mini golf were all great.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The main show of singers/dancers bordered on adult-only. We had young kids, and it was cringy with some of the bad words in their songs, and especially in the Chicago number, where the ladies wore skimpy clothes, were behind jail bars, and talked about how they killed people. My kids kept asking why they were in prison. We didn't go to the other main show. But the farewell show was very nice, and all the musical entertainment on board the ship was wonderful.

Children's Programs

never used

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone from top to bottom was professional and friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Even though an old ship, it was still beautiful and in great shape.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved this cabin! The storage is amazing! The best I've ever seen. We didn't use 80% of the storage. Beds super comfy. Even though we were at the very front of the ship, didn't feel any movement.
