Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Did and drinks were hit or miss. The buffet was excellent all week for breakfast and lunch. The main dining rooms were just ok. We had good meals and average meals at best. Cagneys was excellent as well as lotus garden. O’Sheehans has great apps. The drinks were not very strong most of the time.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Not a ton to do for smaller kids but they always had some trivia or game shows going on as well as singers.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Some good and bad. Always something to see or do though. The magician was not worth the time.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Not great service the first night in summer palace. After that it was great though. Wish the bars had more than one server at a time. Long waits at times.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
100% for shop cleanliness. The design was strange though. Very difficult to get used to the layout compared to other ships out there.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Very clean. Wasn’t crazy about the bathroom layout. Made it feel tighter than it needed to be.

Ship tip

Book speciality dinners as soon as possible. No need to book shows in the stardust theater. You can walk right in up to show time. Other shows you need to get there 20 mins early if not sooner to get a good seat.

Ports of call

Royal Naval Dockyard, West End, Bermuda

Had perfect weather all three days. Horseshoe beach was amazing with big waves of you like that. Only issue is the Man of Wars that we’re washing up all day here and there. Did the kids blow up water park I which is right off the ship. Kids had a blast. Did the Rising Sun Catamaran which was an amazing time as well. Highly recommend.
