Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was well organized and very quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The Edge class ships have 4 main dining rooms and we tried to rotate through all of them. We missed having the same wait staff but overall the food was good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The activities staff tried to have something for everyone on a daily basis.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Entertainment and headliner shows were excellent.

Children's Programs

We were not traveling with children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All of the ship's staff tried to go out of their way to provide excellent service.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The design and layout of the ship is very good. Many of the public spaces have seating available but most of the chairs are very uncomfortable.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The infinite veranda adds space to the stateroom and the bathroom is larger than most cruise ships.
