Review summary

We had been to all three ports on this cruise. We just wanted to go on the new ship. I can’t imagine the ship being full capacity. There was already a shortage of seats in the grand central area and in the comedy clubs. We had around 3800 passengers and full capacity is 6500. If you want to watch a show, play bingo or go to comedy, you need to arrive 20-30 minutes early

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy embarkation. Our check in time was 10:30-11, we checked in at 1:15 and we were on board a few minutes after 11

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Great food and great variety of restaurants. We weren’t able to eat at all of them

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Top notch entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
This ship has the best staff of any ship we have been on in 16 cruises. They go above and beyond every time you’re in contact with them!!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
It is a beautiful ship with the planned “zones”. We didn’t care for how chopped up everything was. My husband likes the buffet on lido and I like the deli and guys burgers. They were all on different decks. The deli is 8 decks below lido.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had a cove balcony and we loved the room itself. The bathroom however is so tiny you couldn’t turn around in there. You could literally brush your teeth while using the bathroom

Seems to be the problem on all ships about getting into the comedy clubs. Thanks for the review.

Appreciate your feedback. The smaller bathrooms and cabins are deal breakers for us. Don’t think I need to sail on this class of ship. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

I agree with everything. We had a wonderful time on the ship. We learned at the Punchliner that if you showed up right before the show, Andy would let you in the other door and there would be seats. We did that about 3 times.

So right on the bathroom. Must of been a tiny person who designed those bathrooms

How could you check in at 1:15 and be on board a little after 11?
