Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

All of the specialty dining was great. District brew house and sugarcane mojito bar were both great! Manhattan room had nice breakfast. The local grill was pretty bad, food wise.

Onboard Activities

Did not partake

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Choir of men is amazing! Beatles review was also amazing! Trivia and other things were held in the HOT atrium, where it was crazy crowded as well. Comedy was so so and its ridiculous that you have to make a reservation for that.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Some friendly people working but not across the board. I assume they are overworked.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Beautiful ship. Balcony cabin was well appointed. People cleaning and picking up behind others constantly. The theater seats are awful!!

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

The app is not good and works only half the time. No where to eat after 10 pm other than the nasty local grill. Extremely crowded buffet area. Atrium is hot and overcrowded.
