Review summary

I would say overall it's a great ship the staff is amazing that was probably my favorite part is the staff in the food however however finding shade on the top or middle decks is very difficult because everyone takes the chairs also there are a lot of add on that cost a lot of money The Internet is not really worth it and Some of the places like the Central Park bistro are closed often and they are some of the best places to eat the ports of call are pretty average but cause but cost a lot for excursions But all that being said I would sail again on this ship

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Ping pong tables were always full and the staff allowed people to use their own competition paddles in the tournament Def not fair.

Casino Royale

1 out of 5

Spent $500 in 30 minutes no good payout.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Amber Theater

4 out of 5

We saw all the shows, Moma mia was pretty boring for 30 minutes but got way better! The headliner while was amazing was perfect for Michael Jackson covers which he didn't do. I felt that was a loss.

Blaze Comedy Club

3 out of 5

I was a little disappointed as the comedians didn't really pick on the guest and the person opening the establishment was rude and and activity staff manager. That didn't help either.

Aqua Theater

4 out of 5

Simply incredible but they didn't do the tight rope or use the right side of the theater, also reserved seating is first come first serve so keep that in mind! All in all great experience

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

It was clean but I don't like the design of no way to get across the ship after deck 8 except 15

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Great view of Central Park and a litte seating area by the window. It was a great cabin!

Ship tip

Secure shade and shows fast!

Disembarkation

2 out of 5

Tested positive for covid at 2am rushed off the ship even after we told them We had not chosen a hotel as we were required to stay in FL for 5 days. Alot of mis information on what would be reimbursed and complete chaos. Saw at least 12 others with papers and the ship told me they have st least 10 a cruise. But everyone is tested at the start so not sure how somone as Hygienic as me gets covid on a cruise.
