Review summary

Very good cruise but there could be some minor improvements to make it great.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
From the time we arrived to the time we entered the ship was 30 min. Probably less but I will say 30 just to be safe.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food is subjective but with the exception of a couple of dishes the main dining room was very good. They should have a bit more variety as change things up in the morning not have the same food over and over but still good. We are not buffet people we tried it once made to order section was good the rest was cold.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
There is always something to do vr was great need more pools and hot tubs

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Choir of man was fantastic highly recommend cthe illusionist was really good as well the two comedians were good and the illiuniost was really good as well. There was only one broadway show because kinky boots was discontinued so they put the beatles band twice in the theater to replace kinky boots but you can see them in the cavern club. Was only able to see the comedians in the theater was not able to see them in the social because it was all booked up by 1 pm on embarktion day. It is not free style if you have to pre book the entertainment. Also the game shows in the atrium when you know they are that popular they need to be moved to another larger venue a couple of times we were stuck standing for the whole show because there were no seats available.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
Did not have kids with us won't allow me to choose n/a

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Every one was there with smile ready to assist you Sagar head waiter in the Manhattan room was simply amazing

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship well cleaned and looked beautiful and was easy to navigate after a day or 2.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was nice and cleaned we like our cabin cleaned in the morning and a couple of times it was cleaned well after noon. Seen the cabin Stewart once in the entire cruise

Ship tip

As soon as you get on board book the entertainment or you will miss out

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Air boat of the everglades is a must

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
Not much interested us port itself needs upkeep

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were off the ship in 30 min but that could be because we had a excursion before our flight
