Overall a great cruise on a beautiful ship. The solarium was great to relax in without kids running around, evening life was enjoyable, already booked another on her.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
I got there early, a little before 10, breezed through security and checkin. Probably had about half an hour to sit there while the ship was cleared before they started calling suite guests for boarding, by 10:40 I was on the ship and exploring.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
While the quality of the food wasn't five stars for me, the overall experience was. I ate at two specialty restaurants, Chops (lunch) and Wonderland (dinner), loved both. Ate the rest of my lunches in the Park Cafe, being able to get a good salad so easy without having to go into the buffet is a huge plus for me. Dinners in the MDR were good, the food was just ok until Indian night, the server noticed that I really enjoyed that one and offered to bring me an Indian dish each night which I happily accepted. The "Rolling Stone" drink at Wonderland would probably be my favorite drink of the week and I stopped up there before dinner for one nightly.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
Did a couple of spa treatments, very well done, loved the variety of pools and hot tubs to try around the ship.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Just fantastic, across the board everyone was checking on you to make sure that you were taken care of and wanted for nothing.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Was very clean, you'd constantly see people wiping down counters and hand rails, everyone would pick up a glass or dish if they saw one laying around. I enjoyed the layout of the ship, it felt larger and more open.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Cabin was clean, huge for just one person, other than that I just go there to change, shower, and sleep.
Did luggage valet so walked off during the self disembark to avoid the crowds later. Perfectly smooth and fast. Only thing that was annoying at the time (but also good in hindsight) is how many times I was stopped by people asking where my luggage was and warning me that luggage wasn't ready until your group was called. Just told them I was using the luggage valet program and they were ok.
