What a beautiful, new ship! We arrived in Galveston at noon.traffic was backed up, it took about 90 minutes from arrival to the time we were checked in on the boat. Our rooms were ready so went directly to our room, 2 cove balconies and inside room across the hall. Love our cove would book it again in a minute!!

The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our room steward was very attentive and kept the room clean with fresh towels. She even showed my girls how to make a towel monkey. The dining room staff was also wonderful, very very attentive. Some nights when we couldn't decide what to get they would bring both! Ken the Maitre D sang every night and We really enjoyed him. He even stopped at our table to visit with us, made us feel extra special. The food was good but have to say I was a little disappointed with the sea food in the main dining room. The sushi was great, deli great, pizza was good, burgers and fries were very good.breakfast and lunch in the main dining room was just okay. We did order room service for breakfast several times and it arrived at the time I requested. The lido deck food was good for breakfast but seating was a big complaint of mine. Never seemed to be any seats available to eat at. My kids loved the 24 hour ice cream.

My teenage daughters really enjoyed club O2. They went every night. My 12 year old didn't go to circle c much, so can't comment on that. My two 9 years enjoyed camp carnival but we were always so busy doing thinks that they didn't have much time to go.

Cabin Review

Cove Balcony

Cabin 7C

Cove balconies are soo nice, so close to the water. I was not bothered by the lifeboats above, not when you get that kind of view of the water. also could see the beautiful sunsets on the water. I little wet a time or two but not to bad and not wet everyday.
