Review summary

Would I vacation with you again? Indeed it’s a great experience meeting new people and sharing, and last but not least trying to reach that VIP platinum status😎

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Group of 8 we were separated and moved to different check in lines and given different embarkation numbers. Therefore we could not get our group photo that is very important to us!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Lido deck is always a great meal. Night time dinning was a bit of a let down, the service was slow, felt like it was a bit under staffed, the Maitred had to help serve the meals one night🤷🏽‍♀️ Place settings were not done correctly which left the table asking for glasses of water and at some point you just go with! Midnight gala was beautiful and beyond I couldn’t say enough about it captured in photos!!

Onboard Activities

Disembarkation

Porter was hard to get, staff kept saying they were for handicap only which is news to me??? It was easier to just get the luggage and go, it was faster and by the way I am handicapped didn’t think I would need to prove it!!
