Nice but not outstanding. Yacht club staff was outstanding but the ship didn’t feel “friendly”

5 out of 5

As a yacht club member, embarking was great

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food variety was lacking, buffet poorly organized, hot food was only warm

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Beautiful spa, but not large enough. Treatments were nice but not outstanding

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Cirque show was very nice (and short), although the auditorium was very hot and stuffy), but other shows were loud & garish

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Very clean but common areas were not laid out to allow for traffic flow. Evening shows in the common area we’re so loud that they interfered with all other levels

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Spacious and lovely, but thermostat was ineffective in cooling the room (which, because the ship is so new, smelled like plastic & vinyl)

Ship tip

Take a personal fan
