5 out of 5

The food is excellent however this place has the best drinks and bar service on the ship ! Bloody Mary’s are a must here. Oscar is the best bar tender and the other bar tenders work together as a team and make your experience memorable. I must say we are usually always at the alchemy bar on our cruises however on this ship the “ vibe “ was a little different there then usual alchemy bars , so we ended up at the pig and anchor bar and had a wonderful experience!

JavaBlue Cafe

Pleasure as always in the morning getting your coffee! The coffee barista is excellent ( can’t remember her name, opened every morning at 6:45 with a smile and positive energy) , very professional and excellent customer service skills and great americano coffee!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I’m in the customer service industry and I must say I’m very critical when I’m on the other side being a customer. The experience was excellent , all over the ship from the time we walked on till we walked off ! Top notch ! Charlie our waiter and his team in the MDR was excellent! Oscar the bartender and his team at pig and anchor was excellent ! Nicola at the horizon bar was excellent!

Ship tip

The ships elevators are excellent!! First day was different but once you learned the system it’s so easy ( you tube horizon elevator and they give a demonstration)
