Review summary

I was pleased with how efficient everything was despite being such a massive ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
They let us on early!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
I wish they would have allowed earlier dinner times for Chibang and Cucina.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lots of options for entertainment helped with so many people. Only drawback is the popular comedy shows were in small venues. I loved the ropes course.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
For being on a cruise, I felt the Caribbean DJ could've been better.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Nant our steward was so sweet and kind. We also very much enjoyed Jahot our server. I loved his corny jokes and smiling face. He even greeted us when he saw us at breakfast in Lido. Ari was a great member of wait staff too. He was very attentive. I drink a lot of water and my glass was never empty. He was also very helpful and kind.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean. I do wish there was a place to take your own used plates. That would help keep more tables clear during busy buffet times.

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

Watch a Family Feud show. And don't miss the desserts at the lunch buffet?

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

3 out of 5
Wish there was more to do in the immediate (walkable) area for guests who arrive early or depart late

Nassau, Bahamas

1 out of 5
This is a boring, expensive port.
