Review summary

Beautiful ship with excellent food & fantastic entertainment.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Never seen anything so smooth & efficient. I came half-hour before I was due & had no problems zipping through no lines.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Strange for me with set menus but excellent choices between the two "favorites" and daily choices. No major crowds in Cafe except at opening time. Huge variety & space options. Raw Bar freshly made & scrumptious sushi! Wine choices & table water & iced tea were all excellent.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I didn't do anything but lay by the pool.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
THE BEST SHOWS I've ever seen. Guests were fantastic, production shows were incomparable to anything I've ever seen! Aerialists & dancers & singers & scenery was just unbelievable! Jesse H was fabulous saw him twice!!!! Elton impersonator did a good job - great costumes & videos.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
My steward was always available & helped if I needed anything- kept my gorgeous room spotless. My Waiter & Asst were constant in caring for me during dinner & would speak if they saw me around the ship!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Beautiful & modern colors & lighting. Theater was magnificent & seating was fantastic no matter where you sat!!! Clean is an understatement - immaculate!!!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room was beautiful - color scheme so pretty. Loved the huge bath & glass door & large sink. Bedding was smooth & cool & gorgeous. Did not care for the Veranda opening - only did it once. At night when shade was down there was a constant wind-type sucking of the blind against the glass but not too noisy for me to sleep. NO STORAGE for folding items. Needed 2 tables on bedside one NOT cubbies but with drawers. Had the space. Lots of hanging space tho. Short on item space for folded clothes.

Ship tip

Prepare to do a lot of walking. Food places on one end & entertainment 5 miles away on the opposite end.

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

5 out of 5
I hardly knew I was there except on shuttle ride - went right into ship's terminal to check in. Love the closeness to GA my home state - could drive but choose to fly

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic Did not visit port

Been to DR for 9-day trip - not interested in any tours or options.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas Did not visit port

Been there over 20 times did not need to go again

Philipsburg, St. Maarten Did not visit port

Stayed there many times so very familiar with both sides did not need to go again

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
So very easy out of stateroom into waiting area & almost immediately heard callling - no anxiety about missing flight at all.

We are supposed to go in January but thinking of canceling. Did not like Beyond and not enough activities by the pool. Too quiet. How is this ship?
