All in all it was a lot of fun! Take pictures!! And hav fun!
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Our ship was just over 4000 capacity so it was pretty full. It was definitely the longest embarkation we've been through. It took us an hour and 45 minutes to get on the ship.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We ate in the MDR 4 nights out of the week. I'd say 10 out of the 14 dishes I had were really good the others were ok. My wife and I had Ji Ji Asian cuisine and it was by far the freshest tastiest food on the whole boat. Safe to say it's the best Asian cuisine I've ever had. Our whole family did the Fahrenheit steakhouse. I had the rib eye, and it was delicious!! If you don't mind the extra charge it's worth it on port days. Because the 2 of the 3 sea days you can order lobster or surf n turf without an extra charge at the MDR. Just on the formal nights. We also did Teppenyaki with the family and food was good. It's definitely more for the show. My daughter loved it. Also try the Cuban sandwich at the deli inside the Buffet. Oh and of course the tacos, burritos and Guys Burgers are always delicious.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
There is a lot to do on this ship. My daughter loved the Sky Zone. She also loved the arcade. But I do have to say it's the smallest arcade on the biggest ship I've ever been on
Entertainment
4 out of 5
We saw R n B stage show the last night. The swells were super big that day so they couldn't put on the usual show. Very minimal dancing. I've seen better but my daughter really liked it.
Children's Programs
5 out of 5
My daughter loved the kids club. All the counselors were very kind and helpful. It was just a lot more restricted time slots since the pandemic.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
I can probably name 50+ employees that made my cruise. They all work so hard. Tip them $ and they'll treat you like royalty.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Not a crazy fan of the layout. Promenade deck and aft deck were same size as the smaller ships I've been on. Meaning more crowding. The casino is like the arcade. The smallest casino on the biggest ship I've ever been on.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We had a joined balcony room with my parents. It worked out great. They had decent size TV'S. And clean. The weak magnets worked for light stuff. By I would suggest the super strength ones.
We did a private pontoon style boat for 4 hour and got the same captain as 4 years ago. It was super fun. We saw a bunch of humpback whales. And got super close. Just 45 feet of the bow! And reasonable
If you want off early then don't check your luggage. And if you need to check luggage and get off early then make sure you get luggage tags at luggage pick up early. Preferably #'s 1thru 8. We had #11 and had to wait 45 minutes for customs to let us thru our group. Oh and use a porter they are free. But once again throw them a little $ tip.
Our Cruise in January we waited over an hour to board, however we had the earliest check in time. We expected sitting in the terminal longer because of this. All I could think about was the Guys Burger 🍔 I was going to have within 15 of boarding the ship.
