Review summary

Long trip from the East coast, but well worth it. The trip is what you make it. Go, see it, enjoy the journey. Plenty to see.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Long delay waiting for OK to board

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food for most part was excellent, except, found prime rib on Friday night in the buffet was better than the prime rib in Cagney's

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pool deck definitely missing something. Weather made it a non-issue. Unless you want to use the hot tubs really not a place to go

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Elemens was amazing

Children's Programs

Sr. taveling solo

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Waiters, Room steward were fantastic, and bar we're on spot. Guest services were a bit uniformed.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

With signage and a bit of memory, navigating the ship is easy by the 2nd day.

Disembarkation

Use airport transfer and port valet at 730/800 and your off and on the bus in minutes. No cattel drive to deal with

We are coming from the east coast as well. Any suggestions? Also, are the pools heated?
