Review summary

The ship and the suite were wonderful. The staff was amazing. The food was perfect. Our only issue was with the weather. We traveled to Bermuda right between hurricane Matthew and hurricane Nicole. We lost a day in Bermuda and the weather was not ideal for several days, including an unscheduled sea day where there were no pools and too few activities to keep people busy.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This is a great room. Lots of space, well laid out and a perfect aft facing balcony. We had enough space that we had 6 people in the room for after dinner drinks on more than one night and never felt crowded. The only issues with the room was that the air conditioning was not able to contend with the humidity and the digital signal for the on demand movies was very unstable. Other than that, I would book this room again in a heartbeat.

Ship tip

With the new scheduling program, you have to reserve many of the premium dining the first night to get a seat without knowing the event schedule. Most activities in the evening are scheduled at 9 so plan on booking dinners early. I recommend 5-6 pm and then planning on a late night snack.
