Review summary

We enjoyed it although we didn't feel 100% . We wanted to see the Vista and glad we did but will stick to the more elegant class of the older boat.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The main dining room was fantastic as always. We had lunch at 3 of the specialty restaurants and all i can say is I'm glad I did lunch and didn't pay for them. The buffet was the buffet.

Onboard Activities

My husband did the sky trek and he loved it. I didn't do much of anything cause my allergies was flared up.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our waiters were wonderful. For dinner we had Ainars and Whyu. And our breakfast crew was great. Leslie had our juices for us as soon as we sat down every morning. We also had a great room steward unfortunately I can't remember his name.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

I didn't like the liquid lounge layout. Taking out the small tables was just stupid. I understand you want to cram as many people in there as possible, but not having anywhere to set a drink is very inconvenient. I didn't have a problem with the cleanliness everything was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

It was clean But felt a lot smaller than on older boat of my last cruise. The mattress was not as comfortable it actually hurt my back. Didn't seem to be as food quality as on the older boat.
