Review summary

This is a brand new ship and they are still working out some of the kinks, but I would definitely go again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Excellent with the Yacht Club

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Since we were Yacht Club, we ate mostly in our private restaurant. However, we did eat at the Chef's Garden Kitchen and La Pescaderia which were both excellent and would highly recommend. The staff in both restaurants excelled at first rate service. There is a pub also on board, but not very impressed with it. Food was definitely not like the rest of the ship and the beer that is brewed on board, not that impressive.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

This category requires a rating, but I cannot rate the activities as we did not use any of them. I did the on deck walking track several mornings, but did not use the fitness center. We did not use the pools, but they looked inviting and others were enjoying them.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

We only saw two shows, one was "okay" and the other was "great." Part of the problem was getting a reservation for a show as they went quickly with a ship of 6000+

Children's Programs

Did not travel with children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Cannot say enough good things about the staff.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Staff were constantly cleaning and polishing.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

For two people that spent most of the time out of the room, it was fine. The room had a clean modern vibe to it. The balcony was a nice place to sit and read and did not feel crowded.
