Review summary

Get it a chance it’s a great ship. Have some fun. Fun fun and more fu

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Very fast. Never been this fast on any cruise

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was very good, service was excellent, our waiter Francis was great. Buffet was good. Busy but what do you expect with 5000 people on the ship. Our group especially like the Shine bar, right outside the main dining. Ask for Ivy C. For bar service she is the best tell here Dan sent you

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Before this cruise. I was never able to get in or even near the pool. Because of a big kids pool and a adult only pool. There was room. But as in all ships get there early for a chair. Some things never change

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The entertainment in the main theater is excellent including the comedy night. Make sure you book all the main shows for the week at the kiosk easy to book you can also book on you tv in your room. Do it the first night. They have 3 shows a night 7,8:15 and 9:30. Not a big theater holds aprox 900 people.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our cabin steward on deck 11 was Mark he was great. We are in the main dining room every night. No need to eat in speciality restaurants 5:30 seating is the best. You get to enjoy the rest of the evening parties Remember the shine bar and take care of your bar service waiters. They work hard.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I think the ship is kept very clear. It takes time to get used to the layout. You don’t have to see everything. Just find what you enjoy and go with it. Also don’t listen to all the complaints these people complaint even off the ships. Elevators never a problem with my group. After all the eating walk a little. You can use it.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Find. Balcony is larger than most ships.

Thanks for the review. We were on the Divina last year and it had similar reviews but we went anyway and it was great. We sail on the Seaside in April and I am looking forward to it

Nice to see a great review. I know all the others are from people who always complain, I'm sure they even complain about their own house lol.
