Review summary
I loved having the shipment leave out of Bayonne since I already live in New Jersey. We used their parking garage and that was a breeze coming in and out. I loved the ship, did not feel it was too big or too small.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
The Café@TWO70
I liked this restaurant because we could sit out by the club to 70 and watch the views from the wall-to-wall window I liked this restaurant because we could sit out by club to 70 and watch the views from the floor to ceiling windows
Solarium Bistro
Food was good here. I liked lunch better than dinner. The first night for dinner, no one in our party was asked if we would like something to drink.
Bionic Bar
The whole Family enjoyed this bar. It was a lot of fun watching the drinks being made and also creating our own
Windjammer Marketplace
Great variety and food
Sorrentos
This was a nice place to grab a quick bite. It was pizza, but a nice selection
North Star Bar
Friendly bartenders and great drinks
Chops Grille
Excellent food and service from our waiter
Café Promenade
Great food.
Onboard Activities
Casino Royale
Small casino, was not impressed with the type of slot machines available, but it was sufficient for my cruise
Vitality at Sea Spa
I was booked for a massage that first night and there were computer problems, my reservation was lost and not until I was sitting there in the waiting area for an hour, I finally got up and went down the hall to find out what was going on and that is when they told me they lost my reservation. They never should have done that. They should have told me immediately as I checked in. Especially since my husband was with me and they took him right away. I was offered a massage the next morning and 15 minutes were added, but the whole way It was handled was poor
Shore Excursions
Employees were knowledgeable and polite
Pool
Crowded. Get there early
Photo Gallery
Need more computers working The last night so people can order their pictures. There were too many that were not available
Outdoor Pool
Very crowded all the time
Entertainment
North Star
We enjoyed this so much that we went the next morning on a standby line to do it again.
Solarium
As long as you get there early, it’s fine. Loved the views, hot tubs and pools. Waiters walking around with drinks was great and because we got the drink package, showing our Seapass card or giving our room number and information was a breeze whether sitting in the hot tub or around the pool
Two70
Loved the floor to ceiling windows. Wish I went here more often. A nice place to sit and reflect during the day
The Royal Theater
Nice venue. Great staff.
