Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The indulge cafe does an incredible job offering very fast service and a wide variety of cultural food in the same restaurant. It's open kitchen design was very unique for a cruise ship!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Go Carts can zip and the track is Huge. Slides were fun. Ocean boulevard offered wide open spaces that I've never experienced before. Nice Casino.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Comedy was Hilarious. Only knocked 1 star because the boardway show "Six" on the Bliss set such a high bar!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
They did a great job making the ship feel very high class. From the main dining room chandeliers, art on the walls/rooms, tunnel like thermal suites, or even the architecture and patterns surrounding the elevators. Everything was was top notch design and gave a VIP feel I have not expeienced on a main-stream ship before.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Room was quite standard. Showers were better than usually, storage space seemed to be bigger and I appreciated the extra hooks in the room to hang hats, towels.

Ship tip

Order slowly from indulge. Try the Pizza at the buffet, it's the first wood fire pizza at sea. Go politely ask to do a walk through of the spa and check out the "Experimental Rooms." If you usually don't buy a day pass, you might change your mind!

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
Schedule a pick up in advance if you have an early flight. We cut it wayy to close!

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
We did the jungle bike ride and cenote excursion. It was 100% worth the 45 minute each way bus ride. Amazing experience and a photographers dream!

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
New facial recognition was cool. Didn't even need to show a key card to get off or on!
