Review summary

After the room key fiasco and they also put “My Time Dining” on our key cards when I signed up for the 8 pm late seating, everything else went smoothly. Maybe they made the embarkation process too quick where they don’t go over the details with the guest thoroughly enough? It really made a sour start to our 1st day to spend 2 hours with guest services trying to fix things when I could have been exploring the ship. The rest of our time was enjoyable. Loved lounging in the sun in the Solarium. Coco Cay was excellent. I’m so glad we splurged on a beach bed.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Very fast and efficient at the port; was on the ship in less than 30 minutes. Our stateroom key cards did not work. Went down to guest services twice (over an hour of my time in that line). It took 3 different attempts in fixing the key cards before it was corrected.

Our wait staff at the MDR, Rodrigo and Yuting, were excellent. Our room stewards kept our cabins clean and tidy. I never experienced anything less than excellent service from all crew.
