Review summary

Beautiful ship and amazing staff. The ports were good. The entertainment was a bit subpar... but it is still a cruise so who cares? The ship lost an engine and we had to skip 2 ports... but hey it happens. Still better than being at work. Love this ship.

Disembarkation

Typical situation, nobody can follow directions. Both escalators broke down so that added a delay.

Great cruise. Had some engine problems but still had fun. Would like more ventilation in casino
waste of money
Nice overall, but several hard to overcome issues
