We depart from Galveston, didn't have time to explore. We arrived at the port at 12 pm, it was crowded but it didn't take long the check in process, Lots of porters ready to take your luggage and although the lines were long, they moved pretty fast. Great service at the check in counter and we were on the ship by 1 pm.
We went to our stateroom and got our luggage promptly and could unpack and have lunch right before the safety drill. After that we did some exploring. The Promenade on deck 5 was a nice feature and this is the place where you will find the shops, guest services and some fast food restaurants and bars.
The ship is very well kept and offers lots of entertainment for kids, teens and adult. During the day, the main pool is always busy, but if you choose late dinning you can enjoy it not too crowded from 5pm to just in time to get ready for dinner. We attend a couple of shows before and after dinner, all great! The Encore ice skating show was awesome. Saturday Night Fever was great too.
Cabin was very cramped, stained linens, pullman bed inclined, it really needs maintenance
Fast service at the terminal, very industrial port.
