Review summary

The boat and the staff were all unbelievably great. Our room was very nice and our cleaning lady was awesome. The thing I didn't like were the shows that were once, like off Broadway were not good at all. The comedy club was enjoyable. We had also bought the prepaid soda option for each of us. I drink a lot of soda but since you are off the boat a lot, I think it is cheaper to buy by the glass. I did not like that the pop cans sat outside and not on ice or refrigerated so were warm and when you poured a can of pop over ice, your drink turns to water. Would be nice if you chilled the pop as you do beer. Overall was still a nice trip and I would return. Our suite was worth the trip alone so when we were not happy with shows, it was very pleasant to come back to a super room with huge balcony.

Ship tip

Easy to cut through deck 7 rooms to get to either side of the ship. Definitley get a suite, if you can budget for it. Totally worth the money!

Thanks for the info on the suite. I'm in a suite, deck 7 in October.

We felt the same way about bottomless drinks/soda. If you're off the ship most days it really is cheaper to pay as you go.
