Review summary

Great new ship. For having over 4000 passengers on board it never felt like it. Great entertainment, food was great and cooked perfectly. We loved that you can wear dress shorts to dinner being in the Caribbean what man wants to get dressed up. One thing that I noticed is that on the larger ship they didn't have Lobster dinner in the dining room. If you want to have a little quite time and deck space go for the extra charge and buy into the Vibe its for 18 and over no fighting for chairs and no kids running all around you when you want peace and quite private  bar.  On the down side the deck space around the pool was poor. For the size of the ship the gym & pools were way too small.

They work so hard. I didn't like it when I saw people talking to them like they were their servants and not saying please or thank you

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Loved that every time you came back to the ship from port they had a cold towel, clean beach towels and juice waiting for you.

Cabin / Stateroom

Your on a ship don't expect a huge place unless you pay for it.

Ship tip

Pay extra for the vibe club its worth it to have a little bit on paradise while on the ship plus not having to get up early to get a lawn chair.
