Review summary

This is the one cruise a year we try to make sure we get on and it does not disapoint

Embarkation

3 out of 5
We are Diamond Plus but Bayonne does not take care of us only Suites and Pinncile, all other ports we use give us specail treatment, but they were not rude

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
To me the food has gone downhill since we started in 2005, it use to be 5 star, now unless you eat in the specialty restaurants it average with some good meals. I do love the Coney Island hog dogs at the Seaplex

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Bumper Cars, I Fly, North Star, Ping Pong, Hot Tubs were all great. There is a lot more then that on the ship but this cruise that is what I did.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Our Favorite Ventriloquist/Comedian Ronn Lucas was onboard he is always great, if you go to Vegas he also performs there. W Will Rock You last year we did not like it but the different cast made it really good. Did not care for the show in 270. But everything else was good so I will not ding a star for it

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our Room Attendant as on most cruises was great and helps make the cruise, you give a list of your wants and it is always taken care of and he was always friendly. Dining Staff Waiter messed up on night 1 bringing cold food among other things the Head waiter came over we explained and everything was good after that. This ship does have a great staff, we have sailed on her 3 years straight.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This is the smart ship and different then the other RC ships. The ship was always clean and a lot of neat stuff to check out my two favorite places are the Seaplex for Bumper cars, Ping pong etc. and 270 where you have glass going 270 degrees so great view.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It has an extra long Balcony we it was claen and had an outlet by the bed and it was roomier then our balcony on Allure

Thank you for review. Can you tell me if your bed was by balcony or closer to cabin entrance? I am in same cabin on upper deck.

What makes it the “smart” ship?

We were on Anthem in September and liked her so much we changed a cruise and added February 2021. Including our trip in 1 week that is 3 more times we will sail on her.
