Review summary

The ship had lots of activities but not too many events (game shows) at night. We were disappointed when they cancelled a game show we wanted to see without notice. The food was okay and the staff were friendly (with the exception of the bad experience we had with Stacey at the spa).

Embarkation

4 out of 5

It was good but they didn't have a sign for gold members

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food wasn't that bad. I didn't try any specialty restaurants. The buffet had a couple of options.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

I did rock climbing. zip-lining, the flow rider. I enjoyed them very much. We also tried the spa but we didn't have such a great experience there.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

They were all pretty good. Highly recommend. The only one I didn't see was Hairspray.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Everyone was pretty nice. I didn't like not getting towel animals every night as to me this is part of the cruise experience. Some assistant waiters in the main dining room didn't pay much attention to us (it felt that the main waiter did all the work). Also, Stacey from the spa was rude.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

It has its pros and cons. Some venues were super small. The bathrooms would be dirty.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Everything was great. The virtual balcony was actually very nice. The bed was super comfortable. We slept amazing every night.
