Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Blu Restaurant
The food was amazing, there was not a dish served that I did not enjoy. The service was even more incredible. A simply amazing staff of waiters. Our regular waiters knew our entire party’s names (all 14 of us!) and what we liked. Ryann performed magic tricks for our enjoyment. One night we dined at Luminae and I can gladly say that most of our party enjoyed blu as a whole more. A wonderful dining experience.
Quasar
A great space! The bar tenders were great and the silent disco was so much fun when it was held there. Karaoke was also incredibly fun. I feel like the space isn’t as well utilized as it should be. It’s a great venue for dancing and partying!
Cafe al Bacio and Gelateria
This was the place where my family would joke about always being able to find me. All of the waiters were very friendly and accommodating! The treats and pastries were divine, especially the chocolate tarts. All of the coffee drinks and selections put starbucks to shame. A favorite was the cafe shakerato! This was my favorite area on the ship.
Onboard Activities
Solarium
The area looks very impressive and the hot tubs were very enjoyable
Entertainment
Card Room
The area was great but the game selection was very disappointing. There were 20+ checkers boards and not one deck of uno or even regular cards. Thank goodness we brought our own card decks.
Grand Foyer
The foyer was beautiful however the events held in the foyer were not good for the venue. Discos and dancing felt very exposed (as two floors of people can watch from above). The silent discos and parties held in the quasar were MUCH more enjoyable.
Persian Garden
Very relaxing and a much needed quiet place. The aromatherapy room smelled too strongly- it even made my eyes water...
Children's Programs
XClub
The venue was very very small. It didn’t look like the pictures from the website either? The website said there was also a special coffee bar there just for teens. There was some sort of drink counter but no

Ship tip
Bring warm clothes. Lots. And you’ll probably wear more clothes in one day than you think (depending on excursions)
