Review summary

I had a great time. The ship, the shows and the crew were wonderful

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Really easy boarding the ship. Very organized. Check in time was 11:30. My shuttle got me there at 11:40. I was on board by 12:01. Of course I had The Key so I didn't have to wait in a really long line 😊.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Overall the food was amazing except for the prime rib the first night. It was really tough. Everything else was great. I even tried food I had never eaten before.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Zipline

5 out of 5

I'm so glad I did it.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The entertainment was really good except for the comedians. Some of the jokes told were tasteless in my opinion and not really delivered well. Some of the jokes did make me laugh but I could have skipped this show.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

My first night in the dining room I was placed in an area with little lighting and the servers seemed to forget about me. I was traveling alone and felt like I was being stuck in a corner. They tried to put me at the same table 2 other nights and I told them I didn't want that table anymore. Once I had a new table and servers everything was great.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Areas were well kept and very clean. I always saw the cleaning staff wiping down the staircase rails and cleaning the elevators.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin was just the right size and kept clean

Ship tip

Try to book your dinner reservations before you get on the cruise through the cruise planner as soon as it opens up or as soon as you get on the ship as well as the shows. Otherwise sit back and enjoy the ride

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

4 out of 5

I did not do an excursion here. I hung around the pool at Oasis Lagoon. My advice is get off early so you can find a chair. They are hard to come by. The food left little to be desired, it was better on the ship.

Nice shopping and the water taxi was a nice way to get back and forth from the pier to the downtown area.

Sionainn the key for me was beneficial. I like the early boarding and the reserved seating in the shows. Also not having to rush off of the ship at one set time. I had a window of an hour and a half for debarkation. Also the private time for the zipline. Overall it was good. However I would not have gotten it had I not gotten a lower price on my drink package. The key that includes internet was on sale. I paid the same amount I would have if I only had the drink package and internet only had my drink package not gone on sale.

Disappointing. The ship was very nice and the weather was great. However, my wife got Covid on the 4th day and I got it after that.

fabulous

Pretty good cruise even nearly full
