Review summary

Like I said in comments it’s a beautiful ship. What I don’t like is paying more and getting less. The shows are good but one you have to pay for and their excuses is you get dinner. Well I should have an option to see it for free and no dinner. Adult pool area grotto is nice to cool off but would rather a pool.

Adult pool was too deep 6 ft 8inches so everyone stays on the edge. The grotto is nice to cool off but could have had a pool with 6 ft depth.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

I don’t think I should be nickel and dimes on an expensive ship. ALL ENTERTAINMENT SHOULD BE INCLUDED.....some shows were and extra cost and you had to go to box office to get tickets. Some shows we book on app or on wall monitors we were bumped from show or our show times and days were changed to ones we couldn’t attend

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

We did the place a bid to upgrade cabin.. placed bid of $600 and soooooo not worth it. Rooms are state of the art but still not big enough for 4. I did like that you could put suitcases under the bed. I did not like that there was liquor in the refrigerator that if drank is not part of the drink package...go figure that one out....we had to remove liquor to put our waters in to keep cold .....

Ship tip

It’s nice if you want to relax and don’t have kids..food was excellent..
