Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Great service staff in main dining room. Farenheight 555 was outstanding and the hostess (Irish) really made our friend's 50th Anniversary dinner special. It was an incredible evening of great food, good conversation with old friends, and wonderful atmosphere.

Piano Bar 88

2 out of 5

Did not care for the performer in this venue. He was not able to get good audience participation.

Onboard Activities

Love the Aft pool area. Punchliner Comedy was great as always. Ropes course is fun.

Aft Pool

5 out of 5

Love the Aft Pool area on Sunrise. Beautiful views, bar, pizza, Seafood Shack, restrooms and hot tubs all in one area. Also a little quieter and chilled than the Lido pool. Nice place to relax and cool off.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Main Theater Production Shows were great. Dramatic improvements noted in costuming, music and backdrop lighting. Loved the live band in the Vintage Pop show!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We were on a back to back, and both our cabin stewards, Putu and Felber were fabulous. They took great care of us each day. Our table Head Waiter, Ahmet along with his staff of Manisha, Lala and Budi were always welcoming and accommodating to every request. We were truly blessed with the best waitstaff on the ship!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Well maintained, constantly being painted and cleaned. A beautiful ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This is an interior cabin, aft on Deck 5. Steps away from the Alchemy Bar, Piano Bar and all that is on the Promenade Deck. Just a perfect location! Plus, the room is HUGE! I would say 50-75% larger than the typical interior cabin. Very quiet location and super convenient to almost everything.

Ship tip

Book cabin 5357 if you're looking for a great interior cabin.

We did Tabasco Maestro Chef and it was fabulous! Chef Luis is a hoot and the drinks kept flowing.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Off the ship in 15 minutes and on a bus to the airport. So much better than the way it was years ago.
