Review summary

Absolutely beautiful ship. So much to do, see, eat and drink! We definitely enjoyed the cruise but overall we prefer the smaller ships. We are glad that we tried out a larger ship and who knows we may go again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
There was the usual congestion outside the port but once we were in the terminal it was a quick smooth boarding process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
There are so many food options. We definitely didn’t go hungry. MDR was a bit slow at times but overall food and service was great. We only ate once at the buffet for breakfast and it was okay. We enjoyed trying all the new eateries and new bars.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We enjoyed exploring the new ship. There were plenty of activities to keep you entertained or you could just relax.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
There were many different entertainment options nightly. If we didn’t care for something we just moved to another venue to try something else. Musicians and performers were great. CD Kyndall Fire is amazing. We truly enjoyed her wonderful personality.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent service all over the ship. Room steward was fantastic. All the crew we encountered were smiling and friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This is a beautiful ship. It is the largest ship we have cruised on and the layout is great. It never felt crowded. The only exception was when trying to get a seat in the theater. The theater had a great layout with no obstructed views but it seemed small considering the number of guests. There were a couple times we waited in line early and could not get a seat for the shows. Also, the elevators are much smaller.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The balcony cabin was great. Beautiful decor in the room as well as the entire ship. There is a door instead of shower curtain and we liked that. The overall bathroom was very small with only one sink. My husband is almost 7ft and he joked that he could use the toilet, brush his teeth and shower his lower body all at the same time. More than one person definitely couldn’t be in the bathroom at the same time.

Ship tip

Don’t sweat the small stuff. Relax and enjoy!

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
We have been here numerous times however I can always find something fun to do. This is one of my husband’s favorite places to scuba dive.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

5 out of 5
Another great port that we can always find something fun to do. We have been numerous times. Usually scuba, snorkel or beach excursions. This was my first time to experience the sloths. Very cool.

Galveston, Texas

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We had a bit of a delay due to someone having an accident in the terminal. But once the debarkation continued it was a quick and easy process.
