Review summary

Great and fun! Shows are great! Food is pretty good! Pools are overcrowded! Ship too hot!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was super easy!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room food was great most evenings. One of the evenings I was not impressed so I had to go with a lasagna, which I can make much better myself. It was hard and not good. The lido marketplace buffet didn’t have many options at all. Not much variety.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Too little pools for way too many people. Overcrowded. Not enough chairs. The activities were fun though, like the ropes course and the sky ride.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Great performances and performers!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward, Wayan, was awesome! He cleaned our room everyday and left us cute animal towels. The room always smelled pretty after he cleaned it. Our wait staff were awesome too. Parwata and Dede! All 3 knew our names and greeted us so nicely!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Yes! Nice!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
For 4 adults, it was a pretty good size!

Ship tip

They need to do something about the temperature! Besides our cabin, the whole shop seemed to be so hot all the time. My family and I were always sweating. The elevators had no AC.

We’re doing the same itinerary on the Vista in September (pending hurricane season and possible adjustments), glad to hear you enjoyed - we can’t wait!
