Review summary

We loved the luxurious feel of this ship, the food and dining options, the amenities and programs.   The beverage package was WELL worth the cost.  Go immediately to the ticket office and get tickets to all the shows you want to see.    Skip the "BRAT Pack" (tasteless and boring) but be sure to see the "WINE SHOW" ; it was great.   If you want a spot by the pool get out there early and claim a space - it is VERY crowded around the pool area.   The  transport from ship to Miami airport ($16) was awful; long lines, time consuming and dropped us off FAR away from our check in.   Take a taxi.

Onboard Activities

Library hours were so limited and choices so limited. Why not just have a "donate one and take one" bookshelf for anyone to use? We would like to have had more classes and lectures and a way to locate others with similar interests.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
BRAT pack was terrible; we walked out. We enjoyed the entertainment in the Atrium, especially the Elton John tribute. Saw "What a Night" twice we liked it so much. The "WINE LUNCH" musical was outstanding!

Cozy, comfortable, clean and quiet. Large bathroom was really nice. Plenty of storage. Great service from our cabin steward; she was awesome.

Ship tip

Be prepared for large crowds everywhere and all the time. Everything was a line and a wait. Seating around the pool and in common areas was often not available. Learn to be patient, and enjoy your balcony when you need quiet.
