Review summary

Relaxing 7 day cruise to new ports for us. Missed half moon cay unfortunately. Brand new ship and for the most part even better than Koningsdam except for the Crows Nest which they have made a mess of. Adult pool needs more supervision. Loved the new entertainment and music venues

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We arrived later than normal and straight on the ship

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Great variety onboard with loads of free and few venues. The mdr was very inconsistent. Buffet is very good. Best pizza at sea and excellent burgers. Wine on the drinks package is very limited and service in restaurant for wine is SLOW.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Not a lot of activities onboard but with a promenade and walking track and table tennis never bored.
