Review summary

Overall nice relaxing cruise. Everyone was pleasant. Cannot complain. I just didn't care for the food. Eggwhite omelettes we're good and crepes were a very nice touch.

Embarkation

At least a 1/2 hour wait to check in. Long line, but worth the wait 😉😉

Food and Dining

I didn't really care for the food selection in the main dining rooms. There's no free lobster offered. Shanghai noodle house was awesome. I cld go there every night for potstickers and shrimp dumplings. Lots of people eat early...5:30-7pm. After that, service is really pretty good in main.

Onboard Activities

The pools were nice and hot tubs always full. Didn't get to try rock climbing due to weather. They r only open for maybe 2 hrs/day.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Burn the floor was really good...very professional. Priscilla had great performances once we got over the drag Queen part and how pretty the men were. Cirque de Soleil wAs worth the money as usual, with decent dinner included. Didn't get to see comedy shows as u have to reserve early. Magician was very good and funny. Big Top mystery escape was really good... Interesting.

Children's Programs

No kids

Our room steward Jerome was very happy to help. Okay in Manhattan dining room was very friendly. Basically everyone was friendly when you you smiled at them.

Ship Quality

The layout overall seemed a bit off somehow. Maybe it was because our cabin was near the front. Everything was clean and pretty. Just not a boat I wld run to for a second trip. I still don't know why🤔

Cabin / Stateroom

Nice cabin for sleeping and relaxing ...once you get over the separate shower and toilet. Go with someone you know bc you can hear everything that goes on in the toilet....to be blunt.

It's a pretty and always busy port for shopping. Go see Danny at Milanos to try on some pretty Mark Henry alexandrite. He's not too pushy and has very nice pieces. It's fun to try on. Didn't do excursions

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
Very nice beach.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Not too bad. They called us early but we still had to stand in line with luggage for 1/2 hour. Again, really not too bad. Maybe it's the setup that has sum bottle-nosing and a bit of pushing and shoving of luggage to get to customs.
