Review summary

Had a great time visiting these ports. Felt the ship needs help with all linds of electronic glitches. Elevators don't all work and we got stuck in one!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Though there was quite a crowd, the line moved quickly and we were on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food and servers were terrific.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We enjoyed the trivia sessions. The I-fly was a bit underwhelming. The crew manning it needs a course in time management! We were told to be there at 8:45am for a 9 appt. We were there, no one showed up til 9 to start to prep for the day. At 9:25, they were still wiping off the inside of the flight tube! This should have all been done before our appt! The crew definitely is on the click. Won't do anything once their shift is over. Wanted ti ask a question and were told they were closed and she turned her back on us!

Entertainment

3 out of 5
We Will Rock You was great! The Gift left a lot to be desired. Spectra's Cabaret needed a lot of work! Their electronics broke 3 times during the show! Lot of bugs to work out!

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Waiters and room service was top notch. Other ship personnel was less than helpful in most cases.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Cleanliness was great! Design left a lot to be desired. They put too many cabins on this ship so they could make more money, I felt the ship had no personality. Lots of little things missing.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The bed was rather hard. Size and cleanliness was great.

Ship tip

Wear comfy shoes as you will do a ton of walking without ever leaving the ship!

Disembarkation

2 out of 5
We were late getting off as they kept saying there was congestion in the customs area. Turns out not all the stations were open! A ship of 4,500 passengers and not enough customs people. Also, if you get a porter to take your luggage, you move to the head of the class, leaving all if us to wait.
