The ship was amazing and had a good time in port. It is quite a lively ship so it had a good atmosphere and lots going on. It was my first carribean cruise and will not be the last

Food and Dining

There was always something on the menu that caught my fancy in the main dining rooms. The buffet was also good with a wide choice so there is something for every taste

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Compared to some cruises I have been on the service was lacking a little and was hit and miss. Some of the staff seemed a little moody. We didn't really see much of our room steward either. But there were also some lovely staff who were really friendly and helpful and nice.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

It is a stunning ship with lots of outdoor space and I felt close to the sea. There are so many cool places like the garage club and the white party on the top deck was the best i have been too. Sleek and modern design and definitely up there with the best of them. It was generally clean but I agree with other reviews in that the hand sanitizer were often empty and there was no one there to recommend you washed your hands before entering the dining areas

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Just got in my room and can't operate the interactive menu on the TV for show reservations and dining times. Any help?
