Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Both meals and service in the main dining room were fantastic. Enjoyed having the classic menu with a New York Strip steak as an option each and every night.

Onboard Activities

Hardly anyone at the pool, and it is beautiful.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Thoroughly enjoyed the stage shows and Cirque du Soliel at Sea. I saw both shows and they were fantastic. The Carousel Lounge is stunning.

Gorgeous venue designed specifically for Cirque du Soliel at Sea. I enjoyed two Cirque Du Soliel shows on my voyage.

Children's Programs

I'm single, gay, with no kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was extremely helpful. This was the last sailing before shutdown. When we docked in Miami, the entire cruise industry was shut down.

Ship Quality

Beautiful common areas, always clean and shiny.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Loved the balcony cabin. Nice size, plenty of room.

Ship tip

Book your cabin as close to mid-ship elevators as possible. There are no aft elevators for passengers, aft cabins must walk to mid-ship elevators.
