Cruise was fun. There’s something for everyones interests. First time I cruised with my sister and not my husband so it was a little different.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
We arrived a little before our time slot of 11:30, because the other 4 members in our party were at 11:00. Had no problem getting in and by the time we went through the line and got up to check in , it was time for us.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The buffet was good but the selection wasn’t to great for lunch. Cafe promanade was great for morning coffee but sandwiches for breakfast and lunch weren’t to my liking. Dining room was very good in quality and selections for dinner. Only ate lunch here twice, but was good both times. Dining room breakfast was ok also. I wish I would have ordered more room service for breakfast.
Café Promenade
3 out of 5
I’m used to getting egg muffin sandwiches from this type of venue on other ships for breakfast. Other ships have paninis for lunch at this type of venue. I missed that.
Main Dining Room
5 out of 5
Food was much better than my last cruise with another cruise line. I think the selections were good and I liked the theme nights.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Pool was freezing the 2 times I tried to go in. The trivia’s were fun. A lot of the activities I was interested in were during our dinner time.
Casino Royale
1 out of 5
I was surprised that you could still smoke in casinos. It was way to Smokey for me to play in here.
Swimming Pools
1 out of 5
I was disappointed the pools were unusable because they were so cold. I wish the solarium was heated and covered. Next ship I will make sure I can use pools daily. Free water aerobics would be good also.
Center Ice Rink
5 out of 5
Last time I was on a RC with an ice show it was reservations only and I could never get in. Fabulous show and I loved first come first served.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
I loved the stage shows. Comedy was OK.
On Air Club
4 out of 5
We watched a movie in here and it was a little confusing with all the screens but we enjoyed it.
Platinum Theater
5 out of 5
I LOVE THAT IT WAS NOT BY RESERVATION. Shows were pretty good. Comedian, magic show was good.
Children's Programs
No children with me.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
My niece is gluten intolerant and the head water always made sure she was happy with her food choices. Our room steward made us 3 towel animals. I really look forward to these. Everyone seemed happy and friendly.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
This is my second time on this ship and I have to say I do not like the layout. This is the only ship (14) I’ve been on that I get turned around and can’t figure out how to get around the back of ship where it splits.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The room was plenty big enough and the balcony was nice sized.
Ship tip
Look at deck plans and figure out where dinning rooms are and theater.
Had a take our luggage off ourselves because the tour we were waiting to get on didn’t happen. Waited until last call to get off because flight wasn’t until 7 at night. Walked right off and got an Uber to airport.
