Review summary

Overall we had a great time. We were able to relax and we lived the spa. I had acupuncture treatment and Dr. Hu was the best. The food in the dining room was ok but we preferred the Lido buffet. There were more choices and the quality was better. We are definitely taking another cruise and next time we'll be taking our kiddos.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We got the Faster to the Fun pass and it was worth every single penny. We were on the ship and in our stateroom BY 11:15 AM. There are VIP security lines and a VIP check in area. We were checked in and sitting in the FTTF waiting area before they even let everyone else inside. If you can get it, snatch it up ASAP! It is tje best!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Most of the food was great. I loved the deli and a few things in the main dining room. I was not a fan of Pig & Anchor. It was ok but definitely overrated. The beef was good but the mac and cheese tasted like something from a fast food fried chicken place. We loved the Guy's Burgers and my husband ate there daily. The Prime Rib on formal night didn't taste right. The texture was off and it was way too rare for me (that says a lot since I like my steaks medium rare). I felt kind of sick after eating 2 bites. I stopped and just ate a piece of cheesecake back in the room. The room service we ordered was always on point and quickly delivered. Going to the main dining room was insanely slow. It would take 45 minutes just to get the appetizers. I'm not sure if that's because we did your time dining or just how the service is. All in all, it wasn't bad but could have been much better.

We loved this cabin. There was plenty of room for the 2 of us and sitting on the balcony was amazing. I could have sat out there for hours just watching the waves. It was beautiful.

Ship tip

Get Faster to the Fun. It is definitely worth it.
