Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We made the mistake of not making reservations at the specialty restaurants in advance, but were still able to get a few meals in without the reservations. Otherwise, we ate at the buffet. Food was good - not great, but good.. Above average... Drinks were plentiful and the service across the board was second to none. I was very impressed with the level of service provided by all, especially the young lady who tended to our cabin: she was an absolute delight! We spent most of our days by the indoor pool, as the weather was chilly until we reached Florida. Bartenders made sure we were never "empty"!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Bumper cars were fun, casino made me a few extra $$, and the capsule that goes out over the ocean was intense... Reserve that early, and for a time around sunrise or sunset to benefit the most! iFly was incredible!! Again, RESERVE EARLY!!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Fun shows at night, particularly the comedy show!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Five star across the board!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship was kept quite clean, though the buffet area could have had more attention to the tables... Dishes, etc left on tables by prior diners..

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had 2 cabins: one balcony and one interior with the LCD screen view. Both were comfortable, though the bathrooms were a bit cramped. They served their purpose...
