Review summary

Wasn’t sure what to expect and as it’s my first cruise I can’t compare it but I had a really nice time, looking to book our next cruise, even on same ship so it must have been good.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Excellent dining across all dining areas. Surf and turf restaurant was outstanding, well worth the extra cost.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Only used the pool area so can’t comment on other leisure activities. Easy to get a lounger early in day but was harder if you came up to pool deck later in afternoon.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Night time broadway show just amazing.

Children's Programs

Child free :-)

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

First class except for pool bar, they didn’t like to serve you.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Design if ship very good, easy to navigate. Kept very clean by army of staff. Ship is starting to look a little tired in places but it’s getting on a bit so only to be expected.
