Review summary

For a first time cruiser, very overwhelming. So much to take in. I would like to say the staff was totally amazing.if I had to rate the staff especially in the windjammer. It would be rated out of 10. A 1000. Service was impeccable

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Fantasy, quick getting through the lines of thousands of people. Very organized

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We used the windjammer the most due to more variety. Did chops one night, wasn’t impressed with the serviced. We felt very rushed from the minute we sat down. Asked what we wanted, with hardly any kind of welcoming. Listening to the other waiters with the guest at their table. I wished I had him.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Didn’t do the pool, they were always full. Plus hard to get a lounge chair. A lot of towels with no one on them. We took in the “Thane Dunn concert ( Elvis impersonator), holy matter. What an excellent concert. Took in the 70’s night, it was great. Watch the documentary on Vincent Van Gogh. And a couple of other evenings in the promenade

Entertainment

4 out of 5
It gets so crowded in the promenade section that you can barley move from one end to another. This was mentioned by many people.

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

I found the halls very dusty. I could feel it in my mouth as I walked down the hall on the carpet

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
I have no issues with the cabin. Our young man who look after our room was fantastic. Friendly, ask what are plans were for the day. What did that day. Always had a smile

Ship tip

Explore everything and everywhere. Have lots of patience for waiting in line for food to moving around people
