Review summary

Extremely understaffed, if it’s a full ship, expect some wait time at the bar. Fellow cruisers understand this, and we look out for one another. If you’re at the bar and someone has been standing there before you, just let the staff know if they try to serve you first. Kindness goes a long way. The entertainment staff was so much fun, but the paid shows was very underwhelming. I left after 15 minutes. Maybe it just wasn’t my cup of tea, but felt very much like a high school production. Don’t skip the adults only pool on deck 16 which has a lot less traffic and a bar as well. Please do yourself a favor a try the pizza.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very quick embarkation. Got there at exactly 10:00am, even though my boarding time wasn’t until 2:00pm. I was able to check in and wait for the next boarding group. I was on the ship by 11:30am, room ready by 2:00pm

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

I never stepped into the main dining, I either did specialty dining or buffet. The buffet is going to serve the same thing every day but there is so much to choose from you’ll absolutely find something. The pizza is the best pizza at sea. Please do specialty dining. Worth every penny
