Review summary

Everything was really good, happy to be back on the water. It is only sailing 60%~70% right now to really nice to be on the ship with so much room. Lots of open space, lots to do, nice to be on a new ship. Only problem areas are the bathrooms in the room have shrunk, the casino is way too crowded even at 70% capacity and the same for the lido deck, pools, and comedy lounges. Even at 70% capacity those areas were just over packed so at 100% capacity those are not going to be enjoyable areas at the busy times.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

To a of places to eat and drink. You have to have a schedule or you will not get to them all.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

They really have lots of things going on, many different areas to find live music or shows. None of them seem crowed except the comedy lounges.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Same as above, plenty of things to do and see and the comedy lounges were the only one that were over crowded

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

One of the few negatives. For some reason they shrunk the bathrooms and everyone onboard said the same thing. The room are also a bit smaller but no big deal but the bathroom was a big deal. Not sure why they did that.
