Review summary
This was our first timer cruising on one of the largest ships. It was just like brand new. I really don't know how they keep it so clean. The service in all of the restaurants was excellent. The whole process of getting on board and off went very seamlessly. I like the layout of the ship with the (2) elevator areas it was very easy to learn the ship in a matter of a few hours. I would highly recommend booking you room close to the elevator areas. Ours was a balcony a few cabins from the forward elevator.
Now for a few improvements or just things we saw different on this cruise. The last cruise we did was in 2015 and was the Western Caribbean on a smaller ship. Much to our surprise was a $13.50 gratuity charge per person per day for service people. That should be shared right up front. I thought that the cabin personal might be under staffed. Just seemed from past cruises we were taken care of better. Might again be size of ship. I have always taken care of these people when they do us a great job.
