Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Breakfast buffet was good; lunch buffet was great; main dining room for dinner (and staff) was great; the drink station during lunch was terrible. There were only two choices. The lemonade was awful. and the tea was unsweetened. There should be more options for free drinks or make the lemonade sweeter. The Wok and Pasta restaurants were delicious. The Guy Fieri and Cantina were excellent. The Smokehouse was just okay.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Serenity Whirlpool; karaoke, fitness center; trivia -- enjoyed them all.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The comedy shows were great. Some of the stage shows were good, i.e., the juggler. However, the Liquid Lounge isn't that big. And the seats are leveled instead of on an incline. So it was hard to see if someone tall sat in front of you. That was the downside ot the main theater.

Children's Programs

Didn't bring children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The cabin steward and the wait staff in the main dining room during dinner are second to none.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I found the smart elevators to be a wonderful change. The IMAX Theater was a nice touch.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The balcony was smaller than what I am used to. I was upset and surprised that ESPN was no longer available in the cabin. I had to go to the sports bar (which isn't big). I used to enjoy watching ESPN in the comfort of my cabin. I would request that the ESPN channel be made available in the cabins.

Disembarkation

1 out of 5
This was the worst experience. We decided to take all of our luggage off the ship and still had to wait a long time before we were actually caleed to disembark. It was very unorganized.
