Review summary

The ports of call were not the best or ideal, but went to meet with other family members. It really was a beautiful ship, but they need to focus on soap in the dispensers and cleaning tables to free them up for others. Sometimes went through entire meal next to dirty tables.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Pretty straightforward. Entire process done in about 45 minutes.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Food was actually good in both the main dining room and buffet. Service was fairly good, but the waiter left out at least 1 out of 8 people at the table, each night. Basically, that person sat there while everyone else was eating. Wine and beer for the table was not consistent even though we had the same drink requests each night. Between 8 people, we had two different wines and 1 beer. Bars around the entire ship were super slow serving drinks. Pretty consistent, had to wait 15 minutes or so each time. The bar next to casino was the worse.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Good dance shows.. not so great music shows, especially dueling piano woman. She had great skills on the piano, but maybe selected the wrong genre of songs when singing.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Beautiful ship… but no soap in the dispensers throughout the ship (with the exception of cabins) That’s a big no no when traveling with thousands of others and should be washing hands constantly.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Standard issue cabin. Shower is never big enough.

Ship tip

Expect to wait each time you want a drink. Be aggressive (not mean) or assertive, otherwise you will continuously be passed up by anyone who just walks up.
