If you have never cruised before and have nothing to compare it too this cruise ship would be a good starter. Staff overall were great, food okay, activities plentiful.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
We purchased "The Key" so embarkment was super fast and easy.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Dining room food was nothing to write home about. Would compare food to a Applebee's. Service was great! Buffet food was nothing special either. Izumi was the best meal we had. It was the highlight of the cruise. Celebrity or Norwegian seemed to out perform on food.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Pools were good size. Never too busy. Plenty to do if you wanted.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Main shows were okay. Would compare to amusement park caliber entertainers. Ice show was better. Other singers on ship were okay. Comedian was the highlight.
Children's Programs
No children
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Mohammed our room steward was great. Busted his butt! Dining room waiters were very attentive and were genuine in making sure you had a good experience. Most bartenders were good, but most seemed not as charismatic as other ships we've been on.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Ship was very clean and was well laid out. Smoking in casino was the big downer!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Tons of room. Large balcony. Bathroom size was acceptable. Location was quiet and convenient.
Ship tip
Set dining time worked great for us. After the first night you walked right in to your table.
We walked into the shops, "very long walk" got harassed by shop owners and returned back to ship. Did no excursions as most seemed to be a long bus ride from port.
