Review summary

Overall, the cruise was awesome experience. I was informed the 1st cruise sailed at approximately 65% capacity and the 2nd was 45%. I enjoyed the second half more for obvious reasons (less people). The sport complex was less congested during the 2nd cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was smooth with plenty of staff to assist with the required additional documentation.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

The MDR service was great with little wait for all services.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I enjoyed the comedy shows mostly. However, the White Party appeared to be lively.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The DJ's on the Lido was good. Also, we had the pleasure of CD "Donkey" playing music as well during the Diamond/Platinum Reunion. That was very special!

Children's Programs

No children in my group to participate in the program.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The room stewards, staff around the entire ship was very nice. It was refreshing to see so many positive personalities.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This is a nice large ship that I finally had the opportunity to explore all it. I was on B2B from Oct 16th to 30th.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
I was on deck 2 in a porthole room on the Port (1st cruise) and Starboard size (2nd cruise). My room was the perfect size for a person traveling alone. I will definitely recommend it to others. It had a twin & sofabed, with plenty of closet space.

Ship tip

Enjoy at least 1 movie at the IMAX theater
