Review summary

Nice getaway for a week. Entertainment is excellent. Crowded pools and hot tubs in main area as well as buffet. Better to use Solarium for dining and hot tubs.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Looking a little worn. Typical cabin size. Comfortable bed. Excellent service.

Ship tip

this ship is huge and holds 6,000 passengers. Be prepared for lots of people in elevators and buffet. Also, there are so many “packages” it’s confusing. Why a coffee package if there’s only coffee in the Windjammer and at Starbucks.

Liked that we could have our bags checked in at airport and get our boarding pass in advance.

The solarium is always a great choice unless it's a more adult cruise. We ran into a very crowded solarium on LOS and dirty pools up front.

We found the solarium is way better than the WJ for quick eating. Fewer people and still plenty of choices. Can't wait to sit there again in 23 days.
