Review summary

My overview of this ship is it is a must see! All the hype about this ship is true. There wasn't a day I was bored. If anything I was worried about missing out on something. If you want to have a memory of the best vacation ever this would be the one. I highly recommend going on it and taking advantage of the biggest cruise ship in the world!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The embarkation was great. Check in was very fast, got there early and was boarded early.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Dining has been the best I have seen so far. There are so many places to eat at. There was never a line to wait for food and everything was fresh and tasted amazing.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Some of the activities we did on the ship were rock wall, water park, water park, Flowrider, mini golf, table tennis, spa and few others.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The entertainment was amazing! The Wizard of Oz show was one of the best shows I have been to. The Aqua Dome performance was great, I enjoyed it so much I went back and watched it again.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
While I didn't have small children with me, I did have my 16 year old son. He was busy the whole time. Enjoy the water park of course most. But he also enjoy the shows, Flowrider and rock climbing. Of course his favorite was The Edge!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The room steward was amazing, he was always checking on us! The cabin was always kept nice and clean. The food servers were always going above and beyond, walking around checking on us offering drinks or collect the dishes.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
So far this ship has to be my favorite design and layout for cruise ships. The dome had the most amazing view, all the colors on the ship were vibrant, every where you walked your head was turning looking at all the great views.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I had the infintie balcony, I loved it. The room size was perfect. Plenty of outlets and the room stayed nice and cool as long as the balcony was closed. Even with the balcony open there was a nice breeze, be careful opening the door while the balcony is open it gives a good gust of wind. The tv was a great setup to connect to your cell phone to watch shows.

Ship tip

Be prepared for a work out! The ship is huge and a lot to explore. Where comfortable shoes and plan your time wisely to be able to experience the entire ship.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Miami is always fun and upbeat. Rented a golf cart and went to the beach.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
The disembarkation was fast and smooth. I had a transfer to the airport, the shuttle service was easy and not a long wait.
