Beautiful new ship. Loved the service, bars, and entertainment. I did not like having to book everything in advance and still have to arrive early. Lots of additional charges. I would prefer a larger golf area and a sports court instead of the go carts

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
All the food was great. Texan Ali was our favorite for a group of 8. Very accommodating for food allergies. I did miss having the same waiter and set dinner times as on other lines. The specialty dinning was hard to book for 8 people. If you don’t like the times they have available we found that if you went in person they had more availability
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
The pools were great with fun poolside entertainment. The water slides were fun. The miniature golf was super small due to the race track. The race track was near impossible to book. We went in person was able to book a time. The go carts still took about an hour when we went on our scheduled time. I got clipped a couple of time from some other drivers which wasn’t fun. We did it one time and that was enough. We had a blast doing the mini bowling but it was 6$ per person for each game. The kids loved the arcade.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
The musicians were great. Loved Beau in the piano bar and Siglo. We saw Jersey Boys which was fantastic, even the kids liked it. I was disappointed that we made our reservation for 8 months ago and you still have to show up about 30 min prior if you want good seats. They let standby guests go in 10 min prior to show time. We were only able to book one comedy show which is one of our favorite activities. We learned on the last night that if you show up about 30 min prior you can wait in the standby line and so we ultimately were able to see 2 shows
Children's Programs
4 out of 5
My 16 year old had a blast and went to Entourage every night and during the day as well. They group 13-17 year olds together. My 13 year old did not like it and went only one night. He loved Carnivals teen area better which groups 12-14 year olds and then 15-17.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All the staff were great. We had the unlimited drink package and they aren’t kidding. Not one limit! 15 bars through out the restaurant and rarely had to wait. I liked that they don’t make you sign for each drink. Very personable bartenders and our room steward was great. I did miss having the same waitstaff.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Beautiful Ship. The observation lounge was beautiful and quit with comfortable chases. On Sea days it gets crowded and people actually take LONG naps. So show up early to enjoy.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
The room was beautiful. The bathroom was the most spacious for the balcony rooms. The shower was large and is enclosed instead of a shower curtain. I would not book this exact room again as it was directly over the district brew house with live music every night until 12pm. Our room was loud and vibrated. So we just stayed out past 12 and was fine. If you wanted to go to bed early good luck.
Ship tip
Book early and still show up early for shows and any type of entertainment
Cabo was awesome. We didn’t do an excursion. Took a water taxi which had a glass bottom boat. He took us to see the arch and to see some fish. Then we headed to the Office which is a popular restaurant. We were able to get 8 seated. Fun atmosphere. The kids swam in the ocean in front.
