Review summary

It was a good overall experience. I think this boat was a bit too big causing heavy crowds in area like the bar, long lines for restaurants and not enough seats for entertainment venues.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
They were inconsistent. Some of the food was fabulous and some was just ok. The tough thing is also one day I just wanted a different type of cheese on my egg vs what came on it. That took al ost 30 minutes to get that egg sandwich then way past the time my husband’s breakfast had come. 9 Times out of 10 the service was excellent though.

Le Bistro

5 out of 5

This was the only restaurant where every single dish we had was amazing! We loved it and the staff was very attentive as well.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools- since there is only one where people can stand, it was crowded. Dance classes were fun. The spa area was nice.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The rock of ages show was so sexually explicit I loved the music but left half way through the performance. The magisician was really good. The comedy game show was terrible. The dueling piano bars were fun. The cirque show was pretty good but don’t think it was worth the extra fee. The dance show was really good. The tough thing is that it was so busy for a lot of the shows, it’s hard to get a seat unless you come really early. We wound up standing for the comedy show. The boat crew leading the dance parties were really entertaining.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The lady that took care of our room was really sweet. Everyone was kind and helpful except the lady that I asked about changing my dinner reservations. She rolled her eyes and made me feel like an idiot for the questions I was asking. I’m sure she gets the same questions asked a million times, but still it was unkind.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The bathroom soap dispensers hardly ever give u soap. For the theme of “washy washy”’, many folks left with unclean hands.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The toilet would have to be pumped about 10 times some times to flush. I didn’t understand why it’d flush on the first time sometimes and others not.

Ports of call

New York, New York Did not visit port

We were just coming and going from here.

Port Canaveral, Florida

5 out of 5
Went to Epcot. We had minimal time there but fun.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

3 out of 5
Lines were long for drinks. I had expected a better experience for snorkeling but we saw only 2 fish off the beach so that was a huge disappointment.

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5
We did the aquarium tour which is sad they don’t let u just go see it on your own. It was a long tour that was really unnecessary. If u wanted to snorkel there, people can see u though the windows in the aquarium which I didn’t like.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth and easy
