Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The ships dinning was absolutely delicious. We already miss the food and the variety it offered everyday. From the buffet, burgers, pizza and tacos to the restaurant it was amazing.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There were so many fun activities to do, when the pool was crowded we’d gone right to the slides and waterworks. As well as getting a great workout at the fitness center. Gold and tennis being a blast as well!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The ships entertainments were phenomenal! Every night there was something new to watch or listen to. We loved going to each and every one of them we could, enjoying every moment of it!

Children's Programs

No kids on this trip!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was perfect! Our room steward I Putu was so sweet and super helpful, we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Staff had been so kind and lovely to us, we’re grateful to have experienced such great interactions with so many and all they did to make this trip wonderful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship layout definitely took a while to get accustomed to, we each have had our moments of being lost or confused where we were when wanting to find certain areas of the ship. Other than that it had been very clean, with all the people on board it surprised me just how truly clean it felt!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our cabin has been just the size we expected, everything had been very cozy and comfortable!

Ship tip

Get to know your ship! It is huge and there are so many daily activities make the most of each one! Even though we spent a week on board there was so much we still wanted to do!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Getting off the ship was super easy and quick, especially since we took our own bags down, I feel it would’ve definitely been more lengthy otherwise.
