Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Wonderful wine, great margaritas. Cosmopolitan was a gorgeous restaurant, great service. Eden lounge and restaurant is another beautiful serene space. Dinner was excellent. La Petit Chef had a very limited menu but really was delicious and the show was entertaining.

Eden Restaurant

5 out of 5

Food was artfully presented and delicious. Maybe make your reservation before you depart as I think it’s $54 per person instead of the $60 on board. Service was top notch and they were very respectful of our friends seafood allergy

Magic Carpet

5 out of 5

Visited with friends while they ate from the Mast Grill. We had a drink from the Magic Carpet Bar. Cool space

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

So many varied things to do! I limited myself to trivia, but found that many other activities very interesting. I do not ever use the pools or hot tubs on ships (self conscience). I enjoyed spending time with friends in our large group (58)

The Grand Plaza

5 out of 5

Another amazing space with lights changing. Great views from the 5th floor,Trivia was held there as were other games and music entertainment alongside the piano. The Martini Bar was a show in itself when the bartenders had a full house!

Spirited

Went looking for a particular spirit, fully expecting them not to have it but they did!

Shore Excursions Desk

5 out of 5

Didn’t spend much time booking anything but the staff were attentive to us and were very knowledgeable

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Productions shows were good. Actors excellent. Wasn’t fond of Tree of Life as the discription was not what seemed to be portrayed. The set up for the theater is amazing. Make sure to take the back stage of the theater if offered. The aerialists are thrilling to watch and the guest singers very, very good. I would like to see more lecturers on board

The Club

5 out of 5

Fun place for events, had most Trivia there, a delightfully fun shooting arrows event, Deal or No Deal, make resin bookmarks and the Captain’s Club Senior Officers party

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Captain’s Club hosts, Pree and Rissa, were so very helpful to me personally. Our room steward, Richard, was on top of everything. One waiter we seem to keep finding. Philip was in the Cosmopolitan restaurant and the buffet. I miss establishing a relationship with the wait staff with all the multiple food venues.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Most beautiful ship I’ve ever been on. The room decor is very zen and restful. Everything was spotless in all areas

Cabin / Stateroom
