Embarkation

4 out of 5

Embarkation was relatively quick. They can use more signage and customer service people to direct. We had priority but got in the wrong line.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining was very good not great. No cruise line has great food. This was fine. There were good choices for dinner. It was nice to get a basket of bread rather than one roll. Bread was delicious. Wait staff was great at dinner. Breakfast was a different story. Service was slow and lacking. Kinda all over the place. Food was hit or miss. Great coffee. Ocean Cay was very good. Exceptional staff. Mexican restaurant was just ok. Steakhouse was delicious too. We had a 3 meal dining option and lots of menu items weren’t part of our package. It was OK, but it seemed weird excluding items. Buffet was hectic and we found it difficult to navigate when we went for breakfast. Pizza was best at sea. People should use utensils and not just grab food off the buffet, but we had lots of disrespectful people on our ship.

Gelato was awesome. Try the pistachio.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Went to a singing and dancing show which was adequate. Rock Circus was different but the drinks there were horrible. Sound system was very good in the round. Karaoke was fun in a strange venue. Thermal Spa was really nice but overcrowded on our last deadly. Well maintained.
