Review summary

For a new ship, there were some things in disrepair. The whole “Stadium” area is a mess. Everything is broken or damaged. Shuffleboard pucks don’t slide on table, dart boards are worn out and darts don’t stick, ping pong equipment was falling apart. The go-carts are OK, like a one and done, not good enough to do again. The spa needed some repairs, too. Hubs enjoyed Galaxy Pavilion and we liked the escape room. They canceled the Donna Summer show without giving a reason, so that was a bummer. Entertainment was sort of a letdown. We still had a great time, met some super nice people, had some fantastic food and drinks and would do this cruise again if we could get the Vibe passes again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Fastest we have ever boarded. Had the earliest check-in time and the line was long, but moved super fast

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Cagneys was excellent as was Food Republic. Los Lobos was just OK. We tried both main dining rooms and actually preferred the smaller one called Commodore. Much better service than Hudson’s and the meals arrived hot and fresh. The Indulge food hall was a madhouse, but everything we tried was delicious. The local was really good, but kind of weird that the food area is separate from the bar. Buffet was surprisingly good for cruise ship buffet. Overall we liked all the food
