Review summary

I’m not a person who likes large crowds and there are a lot of passengers on this ship.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Being a new and larger ship, I felt they were more concerned about quantity vs. quality.

Guy's Pig & Anchor Smokehouse / Brewhouse

5 out of 5

This is by far the best restaurant I went to! I am a smokehouse/bbq fanatic and they didn’t disappoint. The service was also amazing!

Cucina del Capitano

4 out of 5

Beautiful! The service and food were great. The Parmesan on the table is amazing!! Melts in your mouth!

Chibang!

3 out of 5

I love that there were 2 types of food served! I was however disappointed in the chaos and lack of organization in the restaurant.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I’m a casino person so I didn’t really do much else.

Mardi Gras Casino

4 out of 5

The variety of games were good. The service staff were also able to MRI up with the large amount of people.

Entertainment

I didn’t go to any of the shows.

Children's Programs

I don’t have children.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I was surprised by the convenience of charging outlets in the cabin. The one downfall being no close outlets for the person on the couch..

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

For having 3 people in an interior room the space was ok. I don’t like the newer bathrooms! If your a larger person there is no room to move!

Ports of call

All cruises have large crowds with the exception of river cruises. You missed out not seeing any of the shows.

Don't understand if you don't like large crowds, why would you go on a ship that has a capacity of 6338 passengers 🤷🏻🤦🏽
