This was my first cruise, and it was with 12 family members. Overall the ship is nice, the staff was excellent. All friendly and nice.

The food was just okay. I'm always hearing how great the food is on a cruise, but for us it just fell short. There just wasn't enough options for younger kids, and the salad bar options were few. It seemed as if the menu repeated every other day. The main dinning room was good, except for the small section labeled "select" was only available for an additional charge. I purchased three bags of popcorn (smaller than a brown lunch bag) I say purchased because it was not complimentary. The cost, $2.50 per bag plus an 18% gratuity added on! Really!

If you choose to swim and need a pool towel, you can check them out at the towel stand but be advised they will charge you $25 per towel not returned! So don't even think about leaving it behind or taking it to your room, it's ridiculous! Read more
