We had a fabulous time. The few things that weren't perfect for us didn't spoil our trip.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Embarking went very smoothly - i was with platinum members and they let us go through with them.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
MDR - Excellent. A few nights the food choices did not impress me but when I chose one, it was always very good. Very disappointed in the set up for getting a reservation to a specialty restuarant. We had assigned time in the MDR and could not get a reservation for a specialty restaurant at all or very late. We got into to cucina when my friend made a big issue of it and it was delicious.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Pools were not heated so we used the hot tub. Serenity pool was ridiculously small and not serene at all. Very disappointed in that.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Cruise director Kyndall Fire was fabulous. Shows in the Center Stage were amazing. The talent was fabulous. The Sunny Girls Trio (violinists) are wonderful. Loved the shows Love and Marriage and Family Feud too.
Children's Programs
No children in our party.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Waiters Rosi, Emilia and Vincent in MDR were great! Kyndall Fire made everything entertaining. She is a gem.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
It was nice being on a new, clean ship. Not the best ship to navigate - busy, small elevators but manageable most of the time.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
My only concern was that there was NO room for my walker. we had to keep lifting it over the bed. The closet space was fabulous! Always impeccably clean .
Ship tip
If you want to eat in the specialty restaurants and not have to wait for a long time, figure out the system. We never really did.
Ski lift $14 to the beach was perfect for my mobility issues. The lifeguards were fabulous - helping you get out of the water as there was a deep drop off. Not a problem for me as I am a strong swimmer but have bad knees so it was hard getting up the sand bank. They had floats to rent and that made it easier for guests who don't feel as comfortable in deeper water. Loungers to rent too with umbrellas.
From what I understand, if you have chosen a fixed dining time, you must wait until after 7 or 7:30 for Cucina or Chibang, maybe Pig and Anchor as well. I don't understand it but that seems to be the "rules".
Glad that you enjoyed. We selected your time dining so that we could select another dining option if we saw the MDR had food choices that we didn’t care for. Was so glad that we did. Worked very well.
