Review summary

The ship, being new, had some gliches to correct. We came to the conclusion that we prefer the smaller ships with less passengers.

Embarkation

A little delayed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
All the food was delicious but Thanksgiving Dinner in the main dining room was disappointing. We had a pressed turkey roll stuffed with spinach and roasted turkey was served on the buffet. I was disappointed the lobster was not a choice by itself for purchase. You could get surf and turf. We loved Emeril's Bistro.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Loved the infinity pool area at Summer Landing. Having a pool in the Serenity Area was great. Also, the large spa tubs were very nice.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The musicians and performers were awesome. The stage shows and songs were new with mostly new songs. Being Baby Boomers, we missed some of the older songs.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
As usual, superb.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
All beautifully new and sparkling clean. The design is BIG! The Center Stage is a gorgeous area but did not have enough seating area for the circus show.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was GREAT to have a cabin that was cool...actually, could have it a cold temperature! Very comfortable and clean. The new shower design is wonderful.

Disembarkation

Because we chose to get off early it was busy and a little chaotic with a lot of people getting luggage and waiting in the maze of lines. It did keep moving though.
