Review summary

We had fun. Both of us came home sick. She got COVID and i don’t know what I have. I guess it’s inevitable when you have a party with 4000+ people. Going to do it again next year!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Walked on the ship about 1:15pm. Virtually no wait at security or registration.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Specialty restaurants were good. We also enjoyed the pub and main dining rooms. I think eating a bit earlier in the main dining areas provided a better quality meal. The buffet is not for us. Way too much chaos. However we did stop their twice for a quick bite and I was happy with the quality and selection of foods.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Didn’t partake.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved the band at the Pour House. Dueling pianos and comedian at Headliners were good. We enjoyed Choir of Man. Note: the tall chairs at the back of Headliners are uncomfortable due to no place for your feet.

Children's Programs

No kids. They must do ok though because we didn’t see a bunch of kids running around.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Never met our steward but that’s fine. He did a good job. Servers were excellent wherever we went.

Ship Quality

My wife wasn’t a fan of the tender process. We went in and walked around and ate.

Ocho Rios, Jamaica

3 out of 5
Transportation was terrible. We lined up at the Manhattan room at 10:15. We didn’t get on a bus until 12:15. We then waited again at Dunns River Falls. Felt like we wasted an entire day for 45 minutes of fun. The guide and videographer were excellent.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Walked off at 730 with no wait. Customs was also quick. On the road by 8am.
