Review summary

Everywhere u turned, there was more fun to be had. Whether u are looking for a relaxing vacation or total stimuli, they accommodated !  The buffet was BLAH, same food every day and nothing to write home about. The restaurants (except Silk) were top notch. The entire crew is truly pleasing, wonderfully social and the best, funniest  cruise director we have ever sailed with ! We had a balcony for the 2 of us and it was perfect. We did see some with 4 in a balcony and that may be a bit much but they seemed to have enough room in square footage.

The ship was sparkling clean, we were all worried about Virus' from their past sailing and Purell stations at every entrance. 

The entertainment was mostly Broadway worthy and the comedian Darryl (?) was a huge hit.  We did not utilize the kids area but we did roam around there. if I was a kid I would never come home there was so many scheduled activities and free play !

It is NOT the ship from the TV commercial, the back of the ship is not open so that was a disappointment but overall its  a 9 of 10 !

Margaret was phenomenal as a cabin steward. Sorry we couldn't find her peanut chocolates on the island as we heard they were her favorites ! We are not messy people but even she found ways to tidy up our space even better !

Ship tip

try to book restaurants and activities asap or u will get weird dinner times and the evening shows start at 9 so don't schedule dinner at 8:30

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

3 out of 5
we got lost for an hour bc the Bayonne bridge was out, 3 GPS trackers all could not help us, and when u think u are in a sea of abandoned buildings, keep going

What are the time choices

Definitely classic. We ate between first and second show times we didn't miss any shows we wanted. Classic you walk right in at your allotted time. Choice you must wait a few minutes on line. Classic you rotate through all the included restaurant and your wait staff follows you.

We are going in January and are super excited. My 12 eyes did you do any specialty restaurants, I'm trying what kind of dining we want to do. Also trying to decide classic or choice? If you do classic and choose the later seating will we miss shows or entertainment.
