Highly recommend, would have been an even better experience had the weather cooperated.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Hectic, a lot of passengers ignored given embarkation times causing an influx of passengers trying to get on board at the same time overwhelming port personnel.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Buffets hectic at peak times, main dining rooms mostly accessible at any time, and speciality restaurants mostly half filled to capacity.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Well equipped fitness center and attractive pool and nice sized solarium.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Outstanding evening shows, some of the best we have ever experienced on a cruise. Other venues had excellent singers and musicians for the most part.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All the crew bent over backwards to accommodate us.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Well designed and clean ship.
Never did it feel like we were traveling with 2800 other passengers with the exception of disembarkation and embarkation at some ports.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Was very pleased with all of the above. We think the veranda balcony is a very innovative use of the space usually reserved for outdoors open air options only. Clever way of providing passengers Witt more air conditioned space with the feel of an open air balcony with the option of lowering the top half of a wall to wall floor to ceiling window.
Ship tip
Get ready for some nickel and dimming especially when seeking internet service.
Loved the city, clean and friendly and efficient people. Took a tour to the Blue Mountains, unfortunately the weather did not cooperate, but could see the potential of a worthwhile full day excursion there and a lovely ferry ride back.
Thank you for a very good, well detailed review. I will be on the Edge May 1st for a 10-day to Hawaii and I'm super excited about my first time on the edge class. I watch a lot of YouTube Cruise critics and they say it's one of the most beautiful ships out there and the food is fabulous!!
