Review summary

The ship is beyond magnificent. Food and Beverage needs to work out the kinks. Luigi is outstanding as cruise director. The theatre productions are very well done.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Main Dining selections were limited and unappealing. We were shocked by how sparse the OceanView Buffet was in the evening with just a couple of food options.

Onboard Activities

This is our second time having Luigi as cruise director and he is magnificent!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Weird creaking noises on 12th floor. Room 12189 is a convenient location but be aware there is overhang from 14th pool deck. Did not see any benefit to being in Concierege class.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Creaking, popping and pinging noise. We actually liked how large the Infinite Veranda made the room feel.

Ship tip

Tip: try to get lounge chairs early---they fill up so fast!

I agree about the food it was disappointing and we also had the weird creaking noise and for some reason after 3 days we figured out it was the metal hangers in closet.
