Review summary

We are retired 73 year olds. We have been on 12+ cruises on other lines. First of all, the food is excellent, maybe our best. Everybody was friendly and service was great. The room ( mini-suite) was fine. Exceptional bath room. Very clean room and ship. Entertainment was ok. I love music from the 50's to the 80's,but it was virtually not there with a few exceptions. Background music was terrible for us ( example: Milly Cyrus and Wrecking Ball.) Reggae band was good. Ultimate beverage package was really great. Any top shelf drink you wanted. Every bartender was on the ball. Only a few times did we have to "wait our turn". Free style cruising has it's place. Give it a try as we did and make your own choice.

Always kept clean and attended.

Ship tip

Have a better map of ship floor plans. Current does not show actual venue locations on each deck. Just lumps them all together.

Tips on drinks are automatically added. I think they also add a small tip at the speciality restaurants, but I typically added more on last cruises.

Do people tip for drinks at all? Or for dinners in the specialty restaurants?

jrpfeff- works as advertised! couple things though- red Bull is an up charge should you want it, and bottled water is NOT included. You can bring an unopened case on board, just print a room tag, have stew clear out mini fridge and load it up😉

I was wondering about the Ultimate Beverage Package. It seemed to good to be true (we got it free). I'm glad to hear it works as advertised.
