VeriFLY made embarkation so easy. Each area we went through was well staffed and fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We visited the MDR one, very good food. Buffet is a buffet good not great, but buffet food is never great. Pizza pirate is the best, from the crust to the toppings, they had extras made so you didn’t always have to stand in line waiting. As they brought out the extras they offered them out. Otherwise you might wait a small time on your pizza. And Guys Burger oh so very good always my first meal

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Our cabin was like before, the bed was not quite as comfortable as the past. But it was always clean. Our neighbors were the most rude we have been around. There idea of closing a door consists of letting it slam shut, anytime of day. And talking loudly in the hall.

Ship tip

Have VariFly completed. It makes embarkation so fast.

Disembarkation

Disembarking was a little slow, they finally dragged me off the ship kicking and screaming. We didn’t want to leave.
