Review summary

This was a nice, relaxing trip for us. However, we would like to have seen more age-appropriate activities on board. We were not pleased that the Centrum was the focal point of most onboard activities. It was way too loud, and certainly not relaxing to go through that part of the ship anytime an activity was in process. For this reason alone, we would not sail this ship again.

We were not happy with the ship's Centrum set up. Most of the activities occurred there, and it was ALWAYS TOO LOUD. The customer care department was in the same location, and you could not even hear to discuss anything with them when any kind of event was happening because it was way too loud.

If you like to shop, you will enjoy the Marketplace. We did take a carriage ride, and it was nice.

We booked transportation to Sea World. The transportation team was great. ALERT: it is a good hour or more to Sea World from the port. However, we were delayed leaving by almost two hours, and the ship did not adjust our return time when they could have. So we only got to spend about three hours at Sea World.

The excursion to the all-day infinity pool/lounging was hard to find, and not really worth the money. We did not use it because it was too cold.
