Review summary

We really enjoyed all the extras on this ship, including the virtual skydiving, 270, the escape room, the North Star, bumper cars and awesome shows. Even the virtual balcony was a cool touch. The service is a little left of perfect, as is the quality of food in the main dining, but awesome places like Wonderland and the random worker that goes the extra mile make it a pretty close to a perfect time!

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Boris in the skydiving area and William in the Chic dining area stand out above the others that don't seem to love their job.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Great artwork and design. A step above the rest!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The room seemed spacious with its layout and with the virtual balcony. The room attendant there is lacking, but it didn't detract enough to think much about.

Ship tip

Eat often in 270 for the yummy salads and great views. Sign up early for all extras especially the skydiving and escape room! Wonderland is an absolute MUST!!

It was apparently available online well in advance of sailing. I booked only 2 months out, so it was gone by then. I just asked where it was and when and went "stand by". The 12:30 time they had no openings but the 2:30 time, only 2 out of the originally scheduled 14 showed. So my husband, myself and the 4 others on standby got in.
