Review summary

So much to do. Need more chairs by pool. Excellent food and entertainment. We didnt have children but deck 15 had alot going on in gym type area. Loved the entertainment unfortunately couldnt do all since early morning activities planned. If i coukd change something, id say more time in beaches, and have sail days between stops. Fun trip saw alot just felt rushed. Last two days enjoyed pool the best.

Food and Dining

Windjammer is our favorite. The waiters n waitresses were extremely helpful with drinks and clearing plates. Lady at front door "washy washy healthy healthy" loved seeing her smile. Only visited Silk a few times, waiters and waitresses were very busy with all their tables. Food was very good.

Service and Staff

Koko was the best room steward, even opened our door if he was near by when we came back to rooms. Always happy to see us. Loved the towel animals. Not sure his position but "Dean" dresses in white uniform helped me when i was upset. Started our trip i left luggage key at home. He radioed for someone to come to our room with cutters so we could get unpacked. Saved the day.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Elevators left alot to be desired, slow. Used the stairs mostly going downstairs and one or two floors up. Wish there were free icetea stations on 4th n 5th floors, fou d the icewater.

Cabin / Stateroom

We had connecting rooms 6584 & 6586 they opened up our balconies the second day. Ubstructed view. Paid less then perfect view. But we saw beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Very private peaceful area to relax.
