Review summary

If you like big ships and a lot of food and bar choices then you're going to love this ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Was smooth and the employees I encountered made it fun

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I absolutely loved street eats. And of course Bonsai sushi is a definite go to. Doing formal night at the Italian restaurant was such a cool experience. Now this new thing called Chibang. I liked it. And I especially liked the one drink that you can't get anywhere else on the ship but you can get it at Chibang, Lycchee martini. We did Italian for dinner a few times because, of course

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I found the gym so tiny. So many spa treatment rooms that you can get lost and never find the exit door. So maybe if we took some of those unused spa treatment rooms and turned it into a normal size gym we would be able to burn off last night's calories.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
I found the addition of searching for Mardi gras King and Queen event was awesome. The deal or no deal was super fun because we can all use it as a chance to win some prizes. And of course who doesn't love the love and marriage. But special props to the three girls that I met on the cruise ship that had the electric violins. I started the cruise off at the brass magnolia with a hurricane in my hand and listen to them. And then after 14 days I had another hurricane and listen to them again. Two were from Russia and one was from the Ukraine.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
My ice bucket in the room was always kept full. And anytime I had a wine bottle in the room two wine glasses magically showed up. Luna in the main dining room is the best

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I really miss a 10 deck high atrium. But I guess a three-deck high Central stage in the middle of Grand Central is going to become this ships signature attribute. Change could be good sometimes.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Gavin worked for us. No complaints.

Ship tip

Lunch time head over to the salad bar in the serenity area. Head over to Street eats. Then grab a chicken breast from the new Shac place.

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
I've been to this part so many times and every time I go I have a great time.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico Did not visit port

I've been to this port before and had the most amazing time of my life. But unfortunately this part was canceled because of a major tropical depression.

Mahogany Bay, Roatan, Bay Islands, Honduras

4 out of 5
I really should have done an excursion to get away from this port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super fast

Cabin and disembarkation both defaulted to one star. They should have been five star. I think the app is buggy
