My overall experience was nice, however they need to do better with the food they serve. We pay so much money to get less than mediocre food served. The ship was not that great. The lobby was small. The events were wonderful especially family feud.
Overall it was nice experience. I probably will not go on this ship again but good experience. I like the bigger look and feeling on getting on the ship and the lobby looking so huge like the titanic. This ship didn’t give me that wow feeling at all not even once.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
It was Farley smooth but boarding last we were very rushed to get to the emergency presentation thing. It needs to be organized better and give people that are boarding last a bit more time to get into the room and drop off stuff before rushing and trying to pay attention. They didn’t even do a presentation it was more of a Check in to me so rushed. Do better because this should be the most important part of getting on a ship.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining

Do better please especially the buffet area. The steakhouse sides were so good but the steak was nasty and it had no taste. I had to use A1 sauce. The Ji Ji Asian place is gross. They served dry noodles with 2 shrimps and Calle dot stir fry. I never knew you could go wrong with Asian cuisine. The Sushi place was so yummy. The fresh salad days on the serenity deck is to die for. It was so good and fresh. The salmon in the main dining was the only dish I finished and loved all around. It came with sweet potato paste so good.

I love the director of entertainment she was lovely and so beautiful and welcoming. She deserves a raise
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Most of the servers were very polite and nice even though they are over worked. Most of them still put on a smile and very helpful. They deserve more money. They do so much all day everyday especially the photo people.

Cabin / Stateroom

It was an ok size for two people and the bathroom is also a good size. I felt like the pricing should have been lower though for an instate room with no windows and located at the back of the ship where u feel the waves and movement more.
Ship tip
Don’t buy any excursions beforehand. It’s cheaper to wait and see at each port. Also most of the walk and sight see tours are not worth the money and it’s best to do it yourself for free. A lot of people left out groups in both our tour excursions to do for themselves. Also do not do the walk and taste in Aruba it’s not really a tasting and not worth the 50 -70 bucks they were charging.
When you arrive get a taxi driver to take you around and find other people to join so the ride is cheaper. It was two of us and we found two other people from a different ship to join us and it was only 20 bucks each. Make sure u bring cash because they charge 5-10% for card use for taxi and food and anything u buy there. They take dollars and give back dollars in change.
It was very slow and didnt seem as organized as it could have been. Everyone should have picked or been given a time to departure before the day of departure. It was so dumb and it took a little bit to get off.
