Review summary

This is a brand new beautiful ship that is definitely geared towards fun and relaxation . With it being such a large ship if your room is in the front and you will do a lot of walking because much of the food and relaxation is on the back end of the ship. as with any cruise if it is a busy week, there’s a lot of waiting for the elevators. One of the biggest disappointments was the wait time for the food in the Pacific, the main fine dining restaurant. Expect at least two hours. Going to dinner at 5:30 does not mean you will make your 7:30 show.

Ship tip

Much of the food and relaxation is on the back end of the ship. With such a large ship if your cabins are in the front, it is a lot of walking to get to and from.

Turpin, she is saying that as of this June, she has been on 25 cruises. Not 25 cruises in a month. To the reviewer, glad you guys had a great cruise! Cheers to many more!

I have been on 25 cruises this June and only book midship. That way we are in the middle of everything. Thanks for your post and glad you enjoyed your cruise. Took 3 grandkids in an inside cabin had 2 upper bunks and 2 twin beds had plenty of room. That king bed will eat up all your floor space.

Appreciate your feedback. Glad you mostly enjoyed your cruise. Frequently new ships need several months to get most of the bugs worked out.
