Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Main dining room was great and our wait staff was very efficient and friendly. Only complaint is we sometimes felt a little rushed. Would have liked a little more time between courses.

Fahrenheit 555 Steakhouse

4 out of 5

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Cloud 9 Spa

5 out of 5

Had a bamboo Massage with extras which was the special that day. Very competent and skilled massage therapist. Would definitely go again.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The singers and dancers were entertaining. Sometimes the music was a little loud to hear individual voices. Very high energy. We also saw a magician who was great.

IMAX Theater

5 out of 5

3D documentary was amazing.

Liquid Lounge

4 out of 5

The lounge was not designed well for stage type entertainment. The tiered seating is not great for visibility and the large poles really obstruct views and unobscured seating is limited. If you got there early, you could get a good seat.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

5 out of 5
All staff went above and beyond to provide superior service.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had 3 women in the cabin with 2 beds and a Pullman. It was tight quarters but had everything we needed. A surprising amount of storage space.

Had to wait for a few hours to disembark due to customs officers. It was no fault of the ship. Luckily we had lots of time before our flight.
