Review summary

It was a beautiful ship but they tried to cram too many people into it and didn’t pay attention to small things. Long waits for elevators, shopping was very high end, small pools, tiny splash pad. The main dining room staff and the food however were amazing! 10/10 for the food and staff.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The staff of the main dining room was amazing.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

We did the pool when it was open, for the amount of people the ship holds the activities didn’t accommodate that many people.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The performances were amazing. Not kid friendly at all. Some didn’t respect the reservations which was pointless to make so that was frustrating.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Every one was nice.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The design was awful. For the size it really lacked a lot. Shopping areas were very small and expensive, there were 3 tiny pools and the splash pad for the kids didn’t accommodate nearly a fraction of the kids on board.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The beds were very hard! Like sleeping on the floor. The room was a good size and clean!
