Review summary

We enjoyed our cruise very much. From riding Bolt to walking on the track in the mornings. Awesome.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was smooth. Our excitement would overshadow a minor hiccup anyway.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The food in the main dining room was not good. We did skip two nights and ate at Chibang on one night and Cucina the other. Both were great. The buffet at lunch seemed very limited which is okay with all of the other lunch options. Hopefully, the new main dining room menu options will be an improvement.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the lido activities during the day; comedy club and shows at night.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were great. Enjoyed center stage and shows in main theater. DJ Cue is good.

Service and Staff

Staff is great even though they seemed stretched. Cabin steward was very attentive and good.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disembarkation process was slow and backed up. At one point it was stopped which really clogged things up. We still got off and got home safely so all is well.
