This was our first cruise and chose HOTS because we were recommended RCI and liked the idea of a brand new ship. We were not disappointed! Embarkation was very easy and we were onboard within 15 minutes. Brilliant party atmosphere as soon as we boarded. We were able to go to our cabin at 1pm and our suitcases were already waiting outside our cabin.
The ship is amazing, staff were helpful, courteous and couldn't do enough for you. Food was amazing and varied for all tastes we had no complaints at all. Ordered room service for breakfast one morning which arrived on time and was lively. Cleanliness on the ship all over was first class. Entertainment was brilliant. Very varied activities for both adults and children. We went on two excursions which went very smoothly and were very enjoyable. Cabin was lovely and great size and kept very clean with fresh towels daily. Didn't want the cruise to end and cannot wait to book our next one!
