Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food in the dining rooms was very good. The service in the dining room is adequate. It is nice that you can wear casual in the dining rooms now. You can even wear shorts. I would not recommend the food at the supper club. It was not very good at all. The show was good there but we saw multiple groups that were in the supper club up at the buffet after the show (Including us).

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Loved the spa pool and sauna. We had a spa balcony, which gave us full access to the spa pool. This turned out great as the main pool on the sun deck was extremely crowded as well at the H20 area pool.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Choir of Men is a absolute must see! The other shows were very good also. As I stated about, the supper club entertainment aspect is a great concept. The food there is terrible.

Children's Programs

No children traveling with us.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
The service is more hands off now that you pay your tips ahead of time. Only saw our room attendant twice the whole trip. Never really checked on us. Some of the waiters are aloof. Loved that the Senior officers made rounds on the decks and other places around the ship. The best service was in the buffet area. Great waiters and cooks with great attitudes and service.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was very clean. The design is good although the atrium area is way too small for the events that they have there. They need to use a larger room for some of the singers, activities and other presentations.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cleanliness was good. A little tight for 3 people but we made it work. Balcony was great as well as the spa access being included in the room. We would have liked to be able to pick movies to watch from our TV instead of depending on whatever might be on. We never knew what was playing or what time they would be on. It would be better if we could select from a group of movies to watch whenever we wanted.

Ship tip

Check out all the pool areas. Don't forget to visit the H20 pool. If you are traveling to Bermuda, keep in mind that the seas are often rough, so the deck pool may be closed at times.

Ports of call

New York, New York

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

Great port. Far from many activities but transportation was available. We have been to Bermuda many times and they have really developed this area quite nicely.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Love the "Choose your own time" disembarkation. Great!
