This was a last minute booking deal and were not expecting much. We were very pleasantly surprised and very glad we did this cruise on this boat.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
This was the fastest embarkation process we have ever experienced. They have certainly done their homework and know how to get you onboard the boat.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Let me start by giving props to the two tee members working in the Starbucks. They were awesome. All of the food in the Main Dining Room was fantastic. One night I didn’t care for the Ahi Tuna but that was my fault. I like it with Wasabi and it was done differently but stated that in the menu. We ate at the Mexican Restaurant one night and the food was so delicious and filling. The margaritas left me wanting for more & stronger but still great. The buffet at both the Solarium & Family Style Buffet were great. They had a fantastic variety to choose from for everyone. We ate breakfast one morning at Johnny Rockets and it was perfect portion size. The salads & soups from the Park Place deli were fantastic each time we visited. The pizza was awesome and they had new flavors each day. Only complaint was you had to ask for more than one piece each time but that’s not any kind of problem. It probably cuts down on waste. Overall we were very pleased with the food on this ship.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We loved the activities they offered but only one tiny complaint was the pools were too small to actually get in them. They still offered the slides & other ways to get wet. They had lots of other things to do & the Gym was the best one we’ve been to at sea.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
The comedy show was great as well as the ice skating and Aqua theater shows. The ventriloquist we had was top notch. The love & marriage show never disappoints.
My only tiny complaint here was the lady singing by the pool. The music was so sad and strange. We went to the Solarium that day to sit where we couldn’t hear her.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Every person we encountered on this boat was kind & friendly and we’re sincere with their intentions to make your stay on the ship memorable.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
This was a beautiful ship and everything is being well maintained and was very clean. It made us feel so safe after COVID.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Our cabin was nice and clean but I did not care for the set up. There was only one closet for hanging clothes. The bed was in way of walking around to sofa side. I would prefer a balcony room next time. This one felt small for an exterior ocean view. The neighbor to my room liked to play his really loud offensive music all morning long so we had to hear through the walls and couldn’t escape to our balcony. Also it was quite a haul to the elevators from this room. The ship is set up differently then others and all rooms are even numbers which made maneuvering back a little tricky. The boardwalk entrance blocks you from going across on 7th floor so be sure to get on the elevator on the right side of the boat. I would not recommend this cabin.
Ship tip
Book your shows as soon as you get on the ship. Set up early arrival and get on their wifi to access booking the shows.
This was a very nice place to spend the day. You could use pools or beach/lagoon style swimming areas. My only complaint here was chair hogs. I moved a chair to have two in the shade side by side. There was nothing saving either and a chair hog yelled at me that was his chair. He forgot to put something on it to save it. Also when I tried to order a mixed drink from the pool bar I kept getting skipped over like 8 times. They would not serve me before all the men ordering. My husband switched places with me & walla.
This was our second time back here and they have rebuilt so much in past 4 years. We did Maho Beach tour off the boat & it was awesome experience. We can’t wait to go back & do French Side next time.
