We really wanted to take a Maiden Voyage and booked this way ahead. It was fantastic so be first ones to occupy cabin etc. After rough weather first day and a half, we had smooth seas for the rest of the journey.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Very smooth but we are Platinum and that helped
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
This is two part. First four days in dining room were abysmal as food was cold, wrong and late almost every night. They finally got things together about Day 5 and it got better and better as we progressed. New ship and crew weren't practiced enough.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Shows were okay but not exceptional. Again new cast of players might have contributed to this.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
We don't do most music venues, but shows were very crowded even though ship was probably 60-65% full. Main Showroom up in bow doesn't hold even 1/3 of the passengers. Center Stage was poorly laid out and almost impossible to see complete shows from and vantage point. This was first ship with this venue and passengers would occupy tables and seating all day and stay for two shows thereby limiting accessibility.
Children's Programs
No kids
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Room Steward and Dining Staff were excellent
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Design needs tweaking but ship was clean. Due to being first cruise, the panels squeaked in hallways as they rubbed together. Our friends said they had same issue inside there cabin. We had very rough first day and 1/2 crossing English Channel on way to La Coruna, Spain. This knocked out about 1/2 of the elevators in all three banks (Aft, Mid and Forward). They only managed to get two fixed by end of the cruise. Non-smoking Casino was Great!
We were somewhat dreading this terminal as our friends took Panama Canal cruise months early and gave us reports of terribly terminal. However this was not true on this cruise as it moored at brand new Miami Terminal. Overall terminal experience was great.
