Review summary

I had a good time. The ship is very big. I walked approximately 8 miles a day each sea day. It was fun. I love their spa and serenity deck. Their entertainment staff is very good.

No problems. Got on the ship fairly quickly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I love their selection of drinks. The ultimate XO is so good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

So much to do. Impossible to make every event.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

I don’t care for the atrium area as the main place for shows, but it works for them. No good viewing seats and you have to get there very early.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Very slow service at most meals.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Clean ship. Did a lot of walking because almost all dining was on other side of ship. I was close to spa, serenity deck, and coffee shop, which worked for me.

Easy peasy. The representative that wheeled me down was super nice. I was off the ship in about 5 minutes. I suggest if you have any mobility issues, get assistance. You bypass every line.
