Review summary

We really enjoyed this cruise. We had a balcony room & it was a larger layout due to a partially obstructed balcony (lifeboats below us) we weren't bothered by the boat & enjoyed more storage...the food was great, lines were not a problem anywhere at all. We enjoyed a meal at the steakhouse, so delicious & such wonderful service. Music was too loud on the serenity deck - hello? Serenity? We never found an open lounger there though...went to the sun deck & still heard the music & got drink service, so even that worked out! Music in the Red Frog Pub was great!!! Comedians were funny at the family friendly anyway - never made it to the later shows We had three great excursions! Great staff at every turn - smiles & "Enjoy your cruise!" Comments from different folks, very nice!

We sailed on the Miracle before & was excited about the 2.0 upgrades...but was hoping for a Guys' Burger joint since we had enjoyed that on other ships. We did like the addition of the Alchemy (handcrafted fresh cocktails) & Red Frog Pub (family friendly & fun games)

Loved the space in it. Only comment is the bad Wifi reception in it. The wifi worked well all over, but when I went to check in at home or post pics at the end of the day - no Wifi available! Ugh (my only complaint - all week & I lived with it!) We did love how quiet it was though it was close to the elevator & stairs, it's tucked behind a big door around a corner - sooooo quiet! The Bacchus Dining Room a few floors down - easy peasy!!!

Ship tip

Balconies are best for sunrises & sunset viewing & the blackout curtains still make it plenty dark so no worries! We order a bottle of alcohol w/some mixers ahead from the Fun Shops & enjoy drinks on our balcony! Save ourselves tons of money! We still enjoy a few drinks out but it's so much cheaper!
