This cruise overall was a good bang for your buck. There are lots of activities, the staterooms are kept immaculate, and the ship is kept quite clean.

My family’s biggest obstacle on this cruise was the length of the lines, and the massive crowds everywhere. The theatres, atrium, comedy club, and restaurants are not large enough to hold the cruise patrons, so we had to get there a minimum of 30-40 minutes early for EVERYTHING. It made our cruise quite stressful because we knew we were not guaranteed a seat for any of the shows that didn’t take reservations, game shows, bingo, atrium presentations, etc.

The food was alright, what we could eat was tasty. The trouble was that we are vegan, and it was quite complicated to eat onboard. We couldn’t simply note that we were vegan on our reservation (vegetarian is the only option). None of the foods at the garden buffet are marked vegan or list any allergies, let alone any ingredients. We couldn’t even order all of our meals for the week in advance, we had to come back every single day to make our orders for only dinner the following day. We were left to our own devices to track down chefs and ask uninformed waitstaff about the ingredients for the breakfast and lunch foods.
