Review summary

A great vacation. No major issues or complaints.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

No issues - Very fast check in. Only had to wait for Captain to open the ship

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Need more bar staff. Food was good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Thermal Spa was very nice. Main ship pool very small. We were told ship was overbooked and it was very difficult to find a lounge chair at pools, decks and Spice H2O. Need staff to take away those being held with people not showing up all day

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Unable to book any shows - Platinum Status - wasn't able to book prior to sailing and once onboard (2nd group on) all main shows were booked. Unable to get in for any

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

They were almost all great - bartenders in H2O kept skipping over several people and only serving what appeared to be their regulars that don't leave all day.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Larger main pool would be nice. Carpets and walls are showing older age but all was clean

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Balcony was smallest we have ever had in 11 cruises. Mattresses were sunken and not comfortable at all - even got mattress topper the 1st day and that couldn't help. Room steward was great always acknowledged us by name even if in another cabin and we were walking by.
