Review summary

Loved this ship. The decor is beautiful, make sure you take the stairs to see the art work. Deck five was a favorite, you can walk around the whole deck outside.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy and fast, but we usually take boarding around 1:00, less crowded.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining was pretty good. Some dishes were excellent and others were a miss. Usually try to avoid buffet due to crowds. Had a wonderful lunch in the steakhouse that was included with our room. Never pay extra for food but this lunch made me think I’m really missing out.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Terrazzo rooms were great. Included a patio, free lunch in the steakhouse, no kids, robes & slippers, continental breakfast in the area bar and a private area with two hot tubs. Only one con, if your a lite sleeper, right below our cabin is an area where crew members like to congregate and can be loud at 2:00 in the morning.
