Wonderful cruise. Honestly, haven’t had a bad cruise yet! I’m not working, cleaning or cooking! Enjoy your time at sea!!!!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

First time out of terminal 5. Separate area for suites with refreshments and plenty of seating. Nice place to wait your turn to board.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Chop's Grille

5 out of 5

We LOVE Chop’s! Our shrimp cocktail, steaks and dessert were fantastic!

Jamie's Italian

5 out of 5

The meat plank at Jamie’s is off the chart! Only thing is, I wish the chairs were more comfortable. Other than that food is wonderful and so is the service!

Main Dining Room

5 out of 5

We ate in MDR for 2 of our dinners, but had every breakfast here. So nice to start your day nice and slow! Omelette cooked to perfection and dinner was delicious!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

We didn’t have any trouble leaving, however same couldn’t be said for those with later check-in and had to park on higher floor of garage. Took some people up to 90 minutes to leave the garage! A fight even broke out and the police were called! Important take away? DO YOUR CHECK-IN EARLY TO GET EARLY BOARDING TIME TO GET LOWER FLOOR IF GOING OUT OF TERMINAL #5!!!
