Review summary

All in all a great time even though Coco cay was cancelled. Service was amazing.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
One of the easiest embarkations I've ever had.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was amazing.. bartenders were a bit stingy with the alcohol. I guess you only get good drinks if you get the drink pkg.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Coco cay was cancelled due to weather. There wasn't a great deal to make up the loss with activities. Shopping isn't a sea day activity. It was already difficult to see the shows, they could have scheduled something like that. Still had fun.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows are great.. difficult to schedule though

Service and Staff

Above and beyond

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Although my favorite class, not my favorite ship. Still a fun ship and had a great time.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
8578-plenty of space, nice balcony. Internet signal weak in room.

Ship tip

Don't expect a great wifi experience. It's generally weak and spotty but at times very slow and unstreamable. Service was out 24 hrs.

GemGirl - there were high winds, up to 30 knots and visibly strong currents. The captain tried twice to dock but was unable to. This doesn't happen often now. Before the dock, it was a 50\50 chance of being cancelled. The currents looked like river currents.
