The ship is great. I went to experience a Mega-ship and a solo traveler experience. I had a great time except as on every other ship I have sailed, well over a dozen, there are always shared tables for dinner. Mary, the hostess for "My Time Dining" was always distracted and the lines moved very slow. Turtle pace slow. I'm not kidding how slow. It was so slow that I am adding her name. And there was no opportunity for me to sit at a shared table. I had to sit alone every night except once. The food was always very good. I did sit twice at the sushi bar, again alone. But the sushi was exceptional and very reasonably priced.

For getting over 6,000 people off and on this ship, it was amazing how well they did it.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining

The food and drink was very good. But the dining experience for a solo travel had much to be desired. Hopefully I get a chance later in this survey to expand on that.
Onboard Activities

With so many pools hot tubs and deck chairs, you seldon had any issues. I do wish they would enforce what they say about reserving deck chairs. I watched a couple put towels down on two chairs and disappeared for three hours without ever sitting down.

Service and Staff

The staff does a great job. My room steward was excellent along with the bartenders of which I met plenty. The servers in the dining room were good but Mary, the hostess for "My Time" dining was awful. Very long lines because she was always doing something else instead of sitting us. Could not get a reservation for any night before 9:00PM. And told me nobody wants to share a table and that I needed to sit alone at dinner.

What can I say? WOW!!!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
A lot more storage than any ship I've ever been on. The shower is a decent size for on a ship. And even being directly under the pool level, I never heard much noise except during Zoomba classes. But they are mis-afternoon so not a problem.
My only complaint has nothing to do with the ship, but customs. I have a "Global Entry Card" to bypass much of the lines. This port, as simple as it is to add a few electronic machines, does not honor your (GETS) card. So even if you spent the money, went through the interview process and all of the nonsense, it doesn't help you here.
