Review summary

We did have a full day, perhaps longer, of nearly unbearable tossing around of the ship. I had no idea such a large vessel could move so much. Laying in bed was like laying on a pool float, and my bed was already so tiny. If you are a single person travelling with a friend, the bed is really too small if you are not small. It is smaller than a twin, I felt I might fall out, and woke up very stiff because I could not stretch out at all. The stretching class did help alleviate this. I'm normally impervious to motion sickness, but the last day and a half aboard the ship was really quite awful, ruined and wasted lost time. We could barely eat. My friend puked a lot. Food was good, activities were nice, shows were great. Really, I wished we had more time on the ship, especially as we lost the last day feeling ill. Excursions were good. All the staff was great.

Lengthy, and hot. Took well over an hour sitting in a very hot tent.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pools and hottubs are gorgeous, especially in the adults only area. The fitness stretching classes I took were very good, David was very knowledgeable.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Was very surprised how good the shows were overall. The comedian's material was a little dated/borderline racist.

Overalll it was very nice. Well appointed, clean, neat, nice. Robes were awesome. Loved the balcony. TV huge. My bed was very tiny though, like for a child. In no way was it a "twin". Nearly fell out multiple times.

Ship tip

If you have premier package and haven't used your 15 drinks for the day, at the end of the day you can order canned margaritas and put them in your fridge, and take them out on excursion the next day!
