Review summary

A very nice experience. Next time I will do my own flights-first flight 5:30 am (ugh) and return 7:45 pm - didn't get home until 1:40 am. There is always something to offer in food and entertainment and sometimes just to sit in the beautiful Observation Deck!

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Purchased Priority Access and it was worth it. Lots of nice perks!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Disappointed in The Local and Onda. Cagneys, Garden Cafe, Taste and Savor were all amazing!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Purchased Vibe Beach Club. So worth it! Roomy, quiet and great bar service! Adults only; two large hot tubs!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Every single employee was friendly and welcoming. They went above and beyond to be of assistance. My room Steward, Mira Carol was exceptional!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Well maintained, but elevators were busy and crowded. If I was younger, I would have used the steps.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Beautiful, roomy and great balcony. Very quiet. At the very front of the ship.

Ship tip

If you are all adults without children, purchase Vibe Beach Club.

Disembarkation

As with any ship, long line of travelers waiting to leave. Luggage neatly lined up in port, but with pain black luggage it can be a treasure hunt
