Review summary

A fantastic experience! The main dining room was such a great venue that we didn't feel the need to pay for a "classy" meal. Plenty to do on the ship as long as you make the appropriate reservations, the earlier the better, on the app. The ice and water shows were great fun for the whole family. So much quality complimentary activities that we only truly spent money at the casino and souvenirs and barely anything else. We are already looking into taking our next cruise on the same ship!

Kids enjoyed the space in Adventure Ocean and we enjoyed the peace. Lots of activities like bingo and trivia as well.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Professional, knowledgeable, accommodating and very welcoming!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Never felt like it was dirty or poorly maintained. Layout took a little getting used to, but plenty of maps and an app for assistance.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very comfortable and always well maintained by our cabin attendant. Good enough size to rest in (2 adults and 2 kids), but I would not want to be restrained to the room for longer than a nap or to sleep. Fantastic views from the balcony!

Ship tip

Definitely pre-book anything you can and check-in early on the app. It was extremely smooth embarkation and minimal expenditure on the ship (except for the casino).
