Enjoyed the cruise very much. The beverage package is very expensive for what you get. You get much more on other cruise lines for the price. Staff very nice.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
Never went to the main dining room. Buffet okay, Cagney's wonderful, Tepanyaki had a great chef (Marlo) but the food flavor was bland, Brazilian restaurant was okay as well. Drink package very expensive with less. It does not include bottled water, cans of soda or specialty coffees. Some of the drinks I normally drink were priced higher than other cruise lines so I had to pay extra to get one. That said, other cruise lines do not let you pay the difference in price only (they make you pay full price) and that I like. They don't have a drink minimum either but I don't drink over 15 drinks a day so that doesn't matter.

Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Didn't attend activities.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
I thought entertainment was good throughout the ship. Some stage shows very good, others just okay.
Children's Programs
No children with us.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
We were very pleased with the service provided by staff. They were very friendly and very good service. My only compliant would be our room steward wasn't very good but he was friendly. We didn't complain so that is my problem because I didn't give him an opportunity to improve.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Different from other ships but I liked it. This was the first time I didn't get lost constantly. You walk one one side of the ship to get to the venues and that made it much easier (for me) to learn the ship. Very clean.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Small but efficient. No seating area other than vanity with stool. Bathroom small but like the sliding doors for shower vs a shower curtain and the toilet has a sliding door as well (although not a privacy door). My cabin was not very clean.
I am kind of looking forward to having it though since the all-inclusive holidays I've had before have only included the locally produced drinks. It'll be nice ordering branded drinks we already know we like and trying the ones we're curious about. Not sure whether our first drink is going to be a Mojito or an Alaskan ale... Choices...
