This cruise overall was great. There are lots to do.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Don't be scared by the crowd. Process moved quickly as long as you checked in beforehand.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We really liked the Lido Marketplace buffet for lunch and dinner, the specialty steakhouse, Chibang, Guys Burgers were good, and the main dining room for brunch.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
It was too hot outside. We stayed inside while at sea. Wish they had more indoor activities like a billiards room with pool tables.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We enjoyed the Cruise Director, Jackie Tang, Family Feud, Comedy Shows, and Love & Marriage show.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Room Steward, Natan was wonderful. Staff was nice and helpful.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
It is a big ship. Lots of walking. Ship was clean and nicely designed. Expect longer wait time for elevators.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
This Forward Excel Suite Cabin was GREAT! We loved the space...so much that we will never go back to a regular cabin. We thought we would not like the narrow wrap-around balcony, however, we enjoyed it. BIG TIP...if you are going to get this cabin suite, all balconies are not made equal. Biggest complaint I read in reviews is that the balcony does not have a clear glass barrier. Yes, it is white metal and if you sit down, your view is obstructed. I researched this...at the end of balcony, part of it is glass that you can lounge and see through. The problem is that all decks have different glass sizes. The 11th deck cabin has the biggest glass view. See my photos.
Ship tip
Get there early for buffet and dining room. Be patient with elevators. Staff work really hard...appreciate them.
