This was our second cruise ever, the first having been with carnival. I was pretty excited to check out all the fun stuff on the ship (flowrider, rock climbing wall, ice rink), but my main purpose for this trip was to relax and unwind. I was impressed that despite the ship being sold out, it rarely felt crowded (except for the windjammer at breakfast and lunch).

The cabin was nice and clean. We had balcony room 7248. Our stateroom attendant (Naning) was very friendly and always put a smile on our face. I liked that there was an abundance of chairs available for laying out in the sun, it was never hard to find somewhere to relax on deck which was very convenient. I do wish there was tables or designated collection point where people could leave empty glasses, there were random glasses rolling on the ground in the less busy areas of the ship (St. Tropez) where I usually hung out which was annoying. The adult pool was great, not very big, but it was usually pretty empty making it easy to swim around. I did find the random groups of teenage girls at the adult pool and on the sundecks a bit annoying though. It would have been nice is they made the forward St. Tropez area adults only as well.

I was pretty excited to try the rock climbing wall and flowrider. For the wall, they only allowed 2 people to climb at a time, and because of the long line they would not allow people to go a second time until the line cleared and others were able to try it. Considering the limited times the wall was open, I only got to climb once which was disappointing. The flowrider line was also pretty long, I tried it once and gave myself a mild concussion. We never did get a chance to try the rink, again because of limited timings. Read more
