Review summary

The ship and private island are beautiful. Food was hit and miss and service tried hard just stretched too thin.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

May as well show up late, cause all you are avoiding is long hot wait outside.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Breads, pastries, house wines, pasta and pizza were all very good. Steak and service in Steakhouse excellent. Main dining was super slow service 2.5 -3 hours to eat. Main dining meals were hit and miss.

Entertainment

Only saw closing Micheal Jackson show and it was decent.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Staff was super nice and doing their best, just not enough of them. Bar waits were long! Lost luggage that didn't arrive till day 2.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Beautiful ship, cleanliness was due to stretched staffed.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Large balcony that had 2 lounge chairs, mid ship.

Ship tip

Pay to be Aura or Yacht Class. Worth the perks.

Rented a cabana (worth it) and island is beautiful! If food was better and at least 1 attendant coming buy to service cabana every now and then, then I would have made it 5 stars.

It is more like the old streamliners with the class experiences in place. I agree. Maybe the higher tiers are better. Thank you for your review.
