Full Review

Walking on I was like ohhh this is older BUT even though it was dated a little bit, it was still very cozy.

Being more adults than kids, unlike an oasis class ship, it was definitely fun to hit the pools and the solarium. Boleros nightly Latin music was great.

People were really cool. Some stuck up people that thought they owned the ship would spoil the fun sometimes (pool area)

Ship was great, food was good, service was better than oasis class by far.

Only one port and everyone has been. However it was nice docking downtown, I’ve never done that.

I would honestly cruise it again, mainly because I’m on casino comps, but for a weekend get away, I don’t think there’s a better time. Can’t wait to try liberty of the seas next

Pros

SERVICE! all the bartenders were so great. Not as much walking as an oasis class of course.

Cons

They need to update the ship. Some things feel very old.

Tips

Book it. Have fun.
