Love the new ship, we all had lots of fun! The breakfast begal at ny deli is a fast option with no line up in morning. We all enjoyed the fresh gelato! Like the newer design and brightness of everything (more updated but still elegant old feel of HAL, fresh feel and loved the new dining options except the culinary arts center night (yuck to the drinks, too too long, uncomfortable chairs, some food was meh, just dont go.) Sel de mer was great! Need internet wifi free on these newer ships or have texting app available for groups to meet up and find each other. Cabanas awesome as always but guys were too busy way to long a wait for things, need more people up there.

Get a suite ~ it'll probably end up being the same size as a balcony stateroom on other ships.

Be sure to wash your hands frequently. We both caught a cold at the end of our trip.

People wandered around a bit when looking for a pier or tenders. The signs are small and only on the ends of the lower staircases.

The options for more sophisticated entertainment is a real hilight of this ship. The Lincoln Center stage is a really nice alternative to the standard piano bar and traditional band options.

Ask them if you are going to have to pay any additional fees per day on the ship ! We were charged and additional 14.50 per person in the cabin per day . We had already paid for our drink package that included the gratuities . We also tripped our room stewards extra .

Go to the shows, If you eat in dining room make sure you get served in a timely fashion. We did not have a good waiter. We did enjoy buffet, food is all behind glass.. it's great that no guest can touch the food. Enjoy the Music Walk on deck 2. My only real complaint was there is no adult only area where you can read a book or relax without music.

If you can get a suite, get a suite. We went into one and wish we had spent the extra. Don't expect back to back activities. It's much more relaxed than that. Be prepared to relax and enjoy.

Just bring yourself and prepare to be pampered.

Back pool is all the smokers so if you don't smoke , avoid it.

Complaints: 1. Food was never cooked to correct temperature in Dining room or buffett. The quality was comparable to Applebees or TGI Fridays. 2. The canned pop was served warm...Seriously!? 3. The ship is pretty dirty and the pool areas are a mess. 4. Everything pretty much closes up at 9 pm. 5. The internet is very $$$$ and it takes 10 min to get a connection, for which you are charged for. Very laggy and not reliable. 6. Many elevators were out of business during peak times. 1. $70 for unlimited laundry service was a godsend. 2. Elemis spa products in bathroom 3. Slam and Eji our stewards 4. Ports were gorgeous and the excursions were outstanding. BE AWARE THAT WE RETURNED TO FORT LAUDERDALE WITH FOOD POISIONING IN ADDITION TO HAVING STOMACH ISSUES THOROUGHT THE CRUISE. ALSO, PURCHASED THE $25 PER PERSON PRIORITY LUGGAGE SERVICE AND THEY FAILED TO SEND MY LUGGAGE TO THE AIRPORT. HERE WE ARE 3 DAYS LATER AND I STILL HAVE NO LUGGAGE.

Visit the Crowe's Nest often on deck 12. A bit of a hidden secret.
