Review summary

Overall, I will be going on this same cruise ship again and again. The ship, the entertainment, the food, the people were amazing. I had an amazing time. I can't say enough good things about this ship and the ports.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was easy and they took great care of us.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Shanghai's restaurant was the best on the ship. I ate there everyday and the buffet. I am vegan and they even has choices for me.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Burn the floor dancers were amazing. The show was so good. The hot tubs in the all adult area were always fun and relaxing. The adult pool in back was small but perfect temperature.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The cruise director and his group were so much fun. Krista was a star, she did a painting class that was so much fun and worth the price.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The ship staff was friendly and nice. The bartenders at the atrium bar were the best.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Also clean, so were the public bathrooms.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
It was the largest inside stateroom I have been on so far in my 8 cruises. I love the space and the design. The shower was great. Its just the toilet that needs more room.

Ship tip

One tip is come with the attitude of having fun. Go to Shanghai's restaurant best on the ship.
