Review summary

This is a ship for families with children. It is geared towards kids with all the different adventure activities. We didn't use those amenities and the adults only section was not the greatest. We would not go back on this ship for another cruise.

Crazy traffic at the terminal

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main Dining Room meals were tasty with good choices. Hooked specialty restaurant was delicious! Buffet was great for breakfast and ok at lunch time. The Mexican restaurant had great make yourself nachos with topping bar.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Long lines for the water slides. The adults only pool and hot tubs were extremely small and crowded. The fitness center was adequate.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

We loved the Ice Show and the show on Flight. We did not enjoy Hiro as much. They has a pirate parade the last day which was fun. The band in the Promenade nightly was nice, but extremely loud.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Staff were attentive and tried to provide you with whatever you asked for.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

We were upset that there really isn't any place to sit and look at the water. You would have to be on the Pool decks to do so or a cabin with a window or balcony. Restaurnants and lounges had the feel of being in a hotel lobby or casino. Ship was very clean!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Great size, easy to move around in. Could have used some more hooks or shelves. Our room had food leftover under the bed and wasn't as clean as other cruises we have been on.
