Review summary

Nice new ship, beautiful design. Appears to be suffering from staffing issues especially in the dining areas, getting a beverage in the buffet area was particularly difficult. Great potential but missed the mark in several areas. Being a premium line is all in the details, this one missed the mark.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Little disorganized staff seemed unsure of protocol

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffet food was not great, bland/institutional. Crown steakhouse was good…if you could get reservations. Overall food was not the focus on this cruise.

Onboard Activities

Shows were entertaining. Large screen tv provided soccer championships.

Entertainment

Live music was good as was the stage presentations.
