Review summary

In one word, Bad. Such a disappointment. Stateroom Infinity porch is not as good as standard door with drapes. When opened, creates humidity. Can’t peak out in morning. No feeling of being outside. Too small! Lack of lighting control in bathroom. Aft bar awful, no shade, too bright white, too hot, no wind barriers. So uncomfortable! Overall - limited outdoor bars without shade. Makes one wondering where to go... there is nowhere. Mediocre bar service everywhere accept at the Martini Bar. Unfortunately, they eliminated the ‘Ice Bar’ that the Reflection has. The Garden has no bar and stinks from a foul, daily consistent odor. The intimate couch arrangements are not comfortable as we just don’t want to be ‘on the spot’ to necessarily relax with others! We might, but not in such a forced way. Redesign. All bars have limited draft selections that make no sense. Music overall just ok, lack of excitement. Hot tubs are not located on same level of main outdoor pool, not as much fun or accessible. Food is fair overall, at best. Lights shouldn’t be placed on bar corners. They’re in the way. No clothing hooks inside state rooms No music inside state rooms! Zero, really! No place to walk or relax near the Edge. Just the opposite as the ship suggests it has?!? Stern glass atrium is crooked, bad exterior design. Health care facilities did not diagnose flu properly. We’re not concerned with well being at front desk, said they were closed, come back another time. Desk attendant unfriendly. Magic carpet served nothing, not even nuts. No coasters, wet bar to put your arm on. Uncomfortable. No cozy intimate bar areas, few too bars. Too few bar stools at bars. Just no where to go! Crappy beer glasses at outdoor bars. Not good. Stern of the ship is a perfect place for a fabulous bar (where Eden is). Eden has wasted the area. Ugh! Dish racks are in view while dinning. Even ‘Dirty’ dishes sign is visible from the table in Tuscan. Exercise area not well designed Grand Parlor not so ‘Grand’. No festive feeling. Dull. Generally the feeling from staff- they’re not so happy. We were the only couple in the Magic Carpet for over an hour and ignored by the bartender. Over 4 rating in scale 1-10; and that’s generous. ———— At least some bright spots- Stateroom and bath overall very nice, well designed Stateroom lighting excellent Great water pressure and drain in bathroom Ship is easy to navigate Tuscan restuarant service was excellent Exterior of ship is absolutely beautiful except for the crooked stern. Looks stupid. Excellent mixed drinks Good wine Excellent stateroom steward Gangway is very well done Has anyone in management spent time as a guest would? Not in the suite level, but in the Concerige level and down? It would be a good idea! Those are the guests that pay for the boat! The marketing videos that celebrate how great the ship designers and CEO are should be eliminated. Celebrate your guests instead! The truth.

I agree with the her review. We were on it in January and we were very disappointed too. The entertainment was the worst I have seen. I will not go back on that ship till they replace cruise director and all the club entertainers.

Thank you for an honest, detailed and insightful review. I went on its second voyage in January, and found much of what you said. I bought a premium liquor package because they said Macallan 18 was on it. Only one bar in the entire ship served Macallan 18 and that was down a flight of stairs and I have a bum knee. Way too few bars, spread at the extreme ends of the ship and not much selection or seating room at any of them. My liquor package was a total loss, and I did most of my drinking ashore. For those who criticize the reviewer, this space is for us to give our honest opinion so others can use that, and making their decisions for future cruises. To blatantly build up something that you don't feel is up to Snuff is wrong. To criticize someone for giving their honest opinion is also wrong.

FFS lighten up. Go on holiday to enjoy yourself not to look for faults. I go to hammer the all inclusive drinks package, see and take in the culture of the ports we stop at. You and your partner should stay at home and take up knitting. Then you can pick holes in that. 😂😂😂😂😂. Enjoy your day.
