Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food in main dining was amazing. The Seafood Buffet on day 2 lunch was over the top!! But cocktails were terrible. You don’t make a Cosmo with grapefruit juice! (Pool bar). The Appletini was also nasty at the bar on 6 by elevator. Terrible tasting. Mojitos were good

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Not much offered and most was set aside as “Private function”. Didn’t see the normal Trivia or too many get involved games

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Kelly Clarkson was incredible full on production to christen the ship. Kinky Boots had a great singer in the lead. Choir of Men was enjoyable. The Prohibition show was cute. But they gave the entire audience 5 cocktails during the show. No one needs 5 drinks in an hour. They were all terrible

Ship tip

Zipline is quite an active challenge. You have zero handrails anywhere. You must maneuver your Carabiner around. You have to climb a vertical ropes course, then a 4 story cargo net. It was not for the very out of shape. Not the traditional sit and zip. But views were stunning. You’ll get your $ worth.
