Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
There is a new reservation procedure at dinnertime. Reservations Times for The main dining, Cha-bang and Cucina de capitan, were made only after 5:30. on the app and you were notified when ready. We never waited more than 10 minutes to get a table.

Cucina del Capitano

5 out of 5

Enjoyed the dinners, the shrimp and chicken Parmesan very tasty. At lunchtime we had the pasta bowl where you chose all the ingredients for your pasta dish, loved it.Excellent staff very accommodating and attentive.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The new “Mid stage”had the huge 3 story special effects video screen that coordinates with the music. There was a live band, family feud games and various entertainers each night. We only went to one magic show in the main theater, very average not to exciting. The comedy club was always packed, get there early.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Outstanding service! The dining room staff was very accommodating and attentive. Our cabin steward was very friendly, professional and kept our cabin clean and tidy. We could always see staff constantly cleaning the public areas.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We could always see staff cleaning the public areas. The buffet was always clean and the staff would immediately pick up dirty dishes. We enjoyed the new Mid ship area, very spacious to watch a show or just enjoy coffee or tea and relax.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was a Aft corner suite. Loved the spacious closets, large shower, and vanity mirror in the bedroom. The balcony had a table and chairs for breakfast meals, 2 lounge chairs, a round lounging couch, a loveseat and a jacuzzi. We were in heaven!
