Mardi Gras can be hit or miss.
Some cabins are easily viewed from others. Do your research!
There's NEVER a time where you can't find something to eat...so many options its awesome.
Activities, entertainment and great laughs are there....even the employees are funny.
You do see where the sacrifice came in for the nearly unlimited amenities. Theater, cabins etc are all smaller in size therefore it can be uncomfortable for some. Midship elevators are impossible. We found ourselves taking the stairs more often than using elevators. Bingo games people are so packed in central stations some stood up. 60% capacity was good for this ship. I would hate to see 100%.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
We rarely ate at the buffet except breakfast. Everything was always decent. I would use hand sanitizer after touching the serving utensils.
Main dining room was wonderful. We loved Wayan!!
Chibang service and food was awesome.
Shaqs chicken sandwich was morable! Shaqs breakfast not so much.
Pig and Anchor.... portions they give you are for kids but the food is amazing.
Pizza.... long waits. People will order a slice of pizza but when the fresh pizza comes out the oven they demand the WHOLE pizza.... so you end up having to wait 10 min for another pizza. Smh.. but hot and delicious every time.
Steak house was terrible ( they lost our wedding anniversary reservations and tried to tell us we canceled but we prepaid for it soooo.., they sat us at a table sitting right next to another couple as if it were community seating. Not for a Steakhouse that we paid for!!, steak was flavorless, Baked potato was cold and tiny, service was decent)
Onboard Activities

Service and Staff

Wayan our cabin stew was great! He's super sweet and fast.
Wayan our waiter in the main dining room was so awesome! We talked as if we were family. I watched him slice a child's food into Tiny pieces so he can safely eat. The mother had a small baby on her lap so his help was so selfless. I almost cried! He was impeccable.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Central Station was PERFECT. No one sitting on your lap, not TIGHT, comfortable seats.
The theater is TERRIBLE. It's now built like a movie theater and it's TIGHT. Can't stretch your legs, overweight people I'm sure are unable to sit comfortably in these chairs.. We left the shows because there's people sitting in your lap without masks on.
Cabin / Stateroom
2 out of 5
Tiny.... bathroom, tiny cabin....I banged my elbows several times getting out the shower.
You can reach everything from the seated position on the toilet.
Beds very comfortable, New balcony slide door is wonderful.
Flat screen TV mounted on wall yes!!
Free and on demand movies for those all nighters.
Night lights on each side of the bed.
Cabin stew Wayan was great. He was very sweet and considerate! We asked for ice once and we got ice every day!
Ship tip
Not sure about all regular cabins on this ship but do expect to be a little cramped. and visit the Serenity Deck you will be pleasantly surprised. Pace yourself this is a large ship! And the casino has both smoking and nonsmoking
One of our faves.
We love Mr Sanchos, Paradise Beach(Luis was GREAT) and Xcaret....
Unfortunately this cruise xcaret was canceled the day before we were due to arrive there. We scrambled to find an alternative
We caught the chair lift and rented a cabana on the beach.... Jason was the man! He had an answer or solution for EVERYTHING
