Review summary

I never got off at ports. Spent time every day in thermal spa and spa treatments.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Smoothest embarkation I ever experienced. Went via The Retreat lounge. Whole process was less than 5 minutes.

Fantastic dinners and lunches. Awesome staff.

Eden Restaurant

5 out of 5

The tasting menu was my favorite meal.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Limited, and not always conveniently time. Many offered only once. I like NCL better for activities.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Wonderful staff. Many thanks to Azenith, Charo, Trudi, & Dr. Ashmati in the spa; Tada at the Martini Bar; Rex at Eden Bar; Ajay on Retreat Sundeck; Michael, my room steward; the Luminae and Blu teams; the Captain and his crew.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Absolutely stunning! Great sculptures! Immaculately clean. Very modern.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The most comfortable room (except the pillows) I ever had on a cruise. Michael was the best steward.

Ship tip

Have early dinners so you enjoy other venues while so many others are at dinner.
