Review summary

The ship is Iconic. Truly amazing. I had a great time and would recommend it to anyone who wants a great vacation. There are so many venues and activities it would be hard to do it all in a week. Great choice for multi generational groups

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Every member of the staff I interacted with was exceptional. Happy about the job they were doing and eager to make sure the guests were happy

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean and well thought out. The elevator system is the are of the show. With over 4000 people onboard you never wait more than a few minutes for the car to arrive and take you where you want to go

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Good size very comfortable for 2. Not sure it would be with 3 or 4. The infinite verandah makes the room seem much larger The bathroom is adequate in size I loved the addition of the draws for small items and the bench in the shower

Ship tip

How was it possible? The ship sailed for the first time on Jan. 27, 2024. I work in Miami Beach and saw the cruise almost on a daily basis. Maybe you had a private viewing of the ship?
