Review summary

For some reason shipmate won’t let me post my pics of the trip and ship. But when available I’ll will post them πŸ‘ for the first time we try the chefs kitchen. ( WOW ) cruiser’s I highly recommend this function. It was top notch and the crew of the kitchen, the chef, and the folks we sat on the table was GREAT πŸ‘ We had so much fun and the food was amazing. ( one hint ) when going to this function eat very lightly hours before attending. This is a 9 course dinner. ( yes 9 ) sometimes is good to raise your pinky finger and feel good about it. That was told to me from one of couples that was with us in the kitchen. Yes, I will be doing this from now on. ( only once ) per cruise 😎😎 The heroes bar was nice the bartender name Anthony was great πŸ‘ he would come during game time wearing a referee shirt 😳 As for the whole trip, This ship is for older crowds who just want to relax and enjoy everything around including having fun with others. This was my 58th birthday trip from my other half. She did a great job πŸ‘ Cruiser’s just try it πŸ‘ the ship is beautiful in the inside, but the food is still carnival if you know what I mean ( regular food ) buffet, and so onπŸ‘ with a few Italian dishes. Like I always say is what makes you happy and fun when cruising in general 😎😎 Until my next cruise, this coming thanksgiving week. I’ll be on the horizon heading to the abc islands πŸ‘πŸ˜Ž like always I’ll be posting my views and pictures ( if I find a way ) to post 😳

I enjoyed the shows, do a little people watching with some interesting outfits. That they know better not to wear. If they were back home 😳😳😳😳 ( just saying )

Lido Pool

5 out of 5

The lido deck is small for a vista class ship. But is very nice & different πŸ‘πŸ‘

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward like any other cruise line are top notch. When tipping a little extra cash to the ones that deal with you one on one & know your name means a lot πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ok, this is my opinion only ok. For what I saw in the ship the ship is great. I like the design of the ship. The whole ship is nice πŸ‘ Would I cruise on it again. ( 100 % ) yes

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I had an interior cabin # 9332 & it was nice. The only downside was that the closets were too small. But everything else was fine

Ship tip

If you want to have a lay back cruise. Well guess what? This is the one πŸ‘ we enjoyed it all around. Since it was October. There were hardly no kids in the cruise.

Ports of call

Grand Turk Island

3 out of 5
I was very surprised to see a royal Caribbean ship dock in Grand Turk next to Venezia. But everything changes when bad weather happens πŸ€” is all about safety. But overall been here to many times. But I still like πŸ‘

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

3 out of 5
Again been here to many times. So instead I stayed in the ship & walk around 😎

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
Now that the construction is complete. The port area is not that bad. A walked around & had myself a Guinness beer with conch ceviche 😎 it was very good.

New York, New York

5 out of 5
If you haven’t cruise out of nyc. You are missing out on one of the top 3 best cruises to depart of. According to cruise line captains around the cruise line.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
No problems at all. If taking a Uber , cross the street and then do your thing. Do not deal with the ones that are in the exit of the port. They said they are Uber & tell you different prices. My Uber to la guardia was $84 . While the other drivers were saying $110 & up. The ride only lasted 27 minutes πŸ‘πŸ‘

Great review. Thank you do much for the tip about how to get a real Uber after debarking in NYC. That will help a lot of people.
