Review summary

It took us 2 days to leave the back of the ship and explore the rest. Such a big and beautiful ship that never felt overcrowded. I would definitely sail on her again.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Embarkation was a madhouse and there was poor direction for Platinum check in.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was outstanding, especially the piazza deli and the Italian restaurant. Never had a bad meal.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The pool on the back of the ship was never crowded. Several opportunities for trivia games and they were fun. The casino had a nonsmoking section which was really nice.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were entertaining. Piano bar was a hoot.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service was good however we never saw our room steward.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Like the location of the room and the balcony but the bathroom was way too small.

Ship tip

Have a drink at the fortune teller bar and Ride the roller coaster. Both were super fun.
