Review summary

I loved this cruise so much that I booked another one while onboard, which I have never done before. I am looking forward to returning to the same level of pampering that I received, and to exploring areas of the ship that I actually didn't get to. With meals and drinks included, you never feel like you have to make a decision on how/where to spend your money. A truly relaxing experience.

Cabin / Stateroom

Just a little narrow between the bed and the wall with counter space, but the counter space was nice.

Ship tip

Check out all the dining venues, then go again. Also, make sure you know where ALL the pools are. We missed a couple. "Smoothies" are not your typical American smoothie, but I asked them to blend in some yogurt and it was perfect.

The food and drink were a bit disappointing, and I somehow thought there would be more shopping. But the cabanas are nice and the swim areas were great.
