Review summary

Our favorite part of the cruise was being able to enjoy so many different restaurants and my husband liked the fact that he didn't have to dress formally any day. We could just relax and move about at our own pace. It was very nice. As I said we have been to St Thomas & Nassau many times in the past so we opted to skip those ports in lieu of enjoying time on the ship. "We met many nice people from all over the world. It was fun o conerse with them and get their opinions as well

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was excellent for the most part. MY husband found a glass chard in one desert. We reported it to the staff who were very apologetic, but did not offer any restitution other than a few chocolates.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

There were many activities to chose from or you could just relax, which is what we opted to do during the day. We enjoyed the evening shows and game shows.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

We enjoyed all of the shows, especially the juggler & the tribute to Motown.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All of the staff & crew we encountered we very nice and friendly. They were helpful with any concerns we had.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship was very clean but so large we didn't get to see it all.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Room really lacked closet space. Very close quarters for a balcony stateroom.

DFromATX I dressed up 6 out of 7 nights cause I personally enjoyed it but lots of other people were casual. Some were dining at a specialty restaurant and others were at the buffet. Photo stations are set up every day during the week

There is a "dress up or not" night, which I believe is the same night the photo stations are set up. It's more of a resort casual attire. You're fine to dress up or down....whichever you prefer.

Do people dress up at all? What about for the shows or dinner? What is the typical dress for women and men? Thanks.

Sadly disappointed

With Royal Caribbean being our favorite cruise line, NCL comes in second!
