Review summary

Overall, the ship was too big for our liking. Very noisy in common areas, internet should be included as well as complimentary water in rooms. Casino was very Smokey due to poor ventilation!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Ran smoothly! Many staff available to direct us in where to go.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Nothing special about the restaurants we went to. The Japanese restaurant was entertaining and the food was great. The main dining areas were average. La Cucina was okay, nothing special.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Very noisy and music very loud on the pool deck and walking/sun deck (16 and 17). Wanted to enjoy the sun and outdoors, but the loud music and noise was too much.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Footloose was canceled due to rough seas. Beetle show was good.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Very friendly staff, room was always clean!

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The smoking area in the casino was an enclosed area. However the smoke smell was overwhelming in the non smoking area. Ventilation needs improvement.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very nice and clean. Plenty of storage areas. Only criticism would be not having complimentary water! Had to pay for it!!

Ship tip

The internet access/ system was very confusing and difficult to navigate.

There’s complimentary water right out of the faucet, which is very high quality. Also complimentary water at buffet and restaurants. What mainstream cruise line offers complimentary water? It’s a waste of resources. Bring your own refillable bottles and get your water to take with you wherever you want. This is a fun and lively ship, so good music is part of that. Can go to observation lounge for quiet.
