Review summary

Beautiful ship, great food, good entertainment. After embarkation day places got busy, but never crowded. Perfect ship for adults, not as much to do for kids/families.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Little information given far in advance for planning purposes, but once at the terminal, it was quick and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffet and main dining were fantastic. Specialty dining was not worth the additional cost. Drink service was slow (I assume post-pandemic staffing isn’t helping) and cocktails were waaay too strong to enjoy.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Other passengers found there were not enough activities for children compared to Royal Caribbean. Perfect ship for adults. Our fault for booking during spring break with all the families.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Excellent overall. Guest violinist wasn’t Lindsey Sterling and some of the vocalists tried a little too hard, but we enjoyed it nonetheless.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Despite drink service being slow (again, I assume everyone is hurting here), the crew worked hard.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful ship. Large, but well designed and didn’t feel “too big.”

Ship tip

If an event (especially in the Club) looks popular, try to get there early, it fills up.
