Review summary

We took this cruise pre covid. This ship has a lot to offer and it isn't so big that you will get lost but big enough where exploring is fun. The only specialty restaurant we had eaten was guys pig and anchor. I love BBQ but I was not a fan. Guys Burgers excellent MDR was good and very entertaining. Buffet I thought was good for a buffet.. better than Golden Corral that's for sure

The food was good on this ship.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Loved the activities. The sky ride was fun. A bit scary. The wind felt like it was going to blow me out into the sea but fun. I liked the imax theater. We saw a first run movie. There was a cost but less than a regular movie theater. We took pizza in the theater with us and it was nice not to have to pay for food as you do in other theaters. The 5 D theater was fun but it was not universal studios quality but still fun.. There was plenty to do on this ship. Never bored.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

All the shows were top notch including the comedians.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

I wanted to give this a 5 because the staff was incredible. Very friendly and helpful. The reason I could not give a 5 was On this ship there were a handful of very rude and violent people. The ship was very crowded and there were people pushing other people. Threatening to fight them because you were in there way. I did not always feel safe. I just thought security could have done a better job.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Loved the cabin. Plenty of room. We had a porthole cabin

Ship tip

I went on this ship pre covid. I would just say to try the sky ride. It's only on 2 ships I believe so take advantage of the opportunity

You should return now. Last October it was 54% occupancy and not crowded at all. You wouldn’t be able to experience the 5D theater, but everything else was available. Thanks for sharing your experience.
