A nice getaway and impressive ship. Try to catch it in the off season, because at 100% capacity the ship definitely makes it known that its at 100%.

Pools were always way too crowded to use, personally I dont want people shoulder to shoulder with me in a pool.
Ultimate Abyss and Waterslides were amazing!
Rising tide bar pretty cool.
Carousel was a classic
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Hiro, 1977, and Flight were amazing. I have never seen shows this grand and jaw dropping in my 20 years of cruising.
Favorite was 1977 definitely go see it!
Note: A lot of the shows require reservations so be sure to do that the first day, don’t wanna miss it!

Ship tip
Reserve shows and dining upon boarding immediately, don’t wait.
A huge letdown. Advertised as a perfect day to the point where it gets annoying from day 1. Everything on the island is over priced and hugely priced. Plus, they allowed for the Mariner to be docked with us the same day so almost 10,000 people and the island was not handling it well. Constantly tripping over people waiting forever for drinks and food. People soup in the pool.
I would only come back if we were the only ship there.
