The staff made this cruise so enjoyable. The pools were designed well with lots of chairs. The food and service in the main dining room was outstanding! Anoop also does a wonderful job with the buffet, breakfasts are wonderful with large variety. Sushi was great in Izumi's too. We will be back with kids, but we likely wouldn't take this ship for an adult only vacation again, it was definitely geared towards families and kids (which is awesome, just not for every vacation).
Embarkation

Didn't expect the large sitting room upon arrival, fairly disorganized.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Main dining room was fabulous - service, comfort and food! Buffet breakfasts were awesome, again staff was so helpful filling our drinks and clearing plates asap. What a great crew.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We loved the pools and hot tubs, and could get into them more often than not. We are early risers, so we were at the pool by 8:30-9 most days, and left at lunchtime when it became packed. It worked great for us! Nice variety of pools, and we really appreciated the sports pool that only allowed 16 and older in it.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
There were shows and music everywhere. Fantastic musicians on this ship.
Children's Programs
We didn't bring our children, but we saw tons of teens & teen activities. We really wished we had used this ship for our family vacation vs. our adult vacation. I loved seeing all the teens having so much fun everywhere.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Top notch staff, could not have asked for one thing better. Imadi and Aung in the dining room rocked!!! Sushil and Joanne table 326 were wonderful and so kind and sweet. Anju in the Solarium bar remembered our names and drink after one visit - he was so welcoming. Kenta and all of the room attendants on the 11th aft wing were kind and smiling and available every day. I don't know how they keep up their positive attitudes, but I was so impressed with thee staff on the ship. They made our trip memorable, and they were definitely the highlight of an amazing trip. Thank you to all of the staff!
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Beautiful ship, no doubt. Staff kept it immaculate everywhere we went. The drawback for us is that we felt 'inside' a lot, would have preferred more bars / restaurants having views of outdoors and the ocean and outside seating.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Great room, tons of storage. We only used 8 of the 10 drawers, had extra space on the 5 shelves, there were two closets with about 12 hangers in each. Shower was super roomy. Kenta kept our room so clean, couldn't have asked for more.
Ship tip
Go to the pool early to enjoy some quiet time before the crowd. Sports pool is 16+. Enjoy the dining room! It is such a special experience, I looked forward to seeing the staff and enjoying the food each evening. The Italian restaurant on board - the lemon cheesecake alone is worth the $49!!!!
Ahhh-mazing! Again, great place for teens, and the swim up bar was so cool for adults. Beautiful, beautiful place. Loved it, we will return with the kids.
As good as can be expected for a ship of this many. We had our luggage valeted and it was so worth the $25! We walked right out at 8:30, and we found a cab company offering rides to airport for $30 / person with 4 ppl in the vehicle. This was cheaper than the shuttle bus charging 34.95, and less crowded.
