Review summary

Maybe it's me. This is the second mega-ship that I've been on that didn't meet my expectations. Maybe I had such a wonderful time on the 2k passenger ships vs these monstrous 4k+ behemoth ships. Inn talking with the crew , they feel the same way. The smaller ships offer a better , truer cruising experience. The megas are all about the wow and less about the cruise.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

They seemed tired and over worked. It was a job to them and most weren't passionate.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Great ship , just too big for me. Smaller ships seem to pay more attention to details. I did love the solarium , swimming in the winter , what could be better.
