Review summary

Enjoyed the observation lounge, really wish it was designed differently and some different choices were made.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Did have to wait at the pier for maybe 5-10 minutes before we boarded. We had selected the 10:30 boarding time. Was smooth and quick.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All the food taste amazing did not have a bad meal. I use cruise ship to try things I would not normally order and everything tastes amazing.

The Local Bar & Grill

4 out of 5

Is a great place to grab a quick bite

Surfside Café & Grill

2 out of 5

Very small and compact compared to the other ship. Also closed at 9:00pm so if you want a late snack your only option is the local.

Indulge Food Hall

3 out of 5

While I like the idea of the food hall, I had a hard time finding open seats. It think if they say you like the the local dose it would be better. The food was good still the finding of seats is a turn off.

Hasuki

5 out of 5

Always have a great meal and a great time when we dine here, normally we go on the day of embarking.

Cagney's Steakhouse

5 out of 5

First time we have eaten hear and did not disappointed was easily the best meal of the trip. Cooked the filet mignon perfectly. Also the dessert were delicious our waiter even let us each get two desserts although we did not get an appetizer. Highly recommend if you have a dinning package.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
I did try the wave slide but that was all it was pretty exciting and fun. I did notice that the put put golf did cost $5 to play which is disappointing because normally that is free.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Some of the ship’s entertainment were a bit of a letdown was really hoping to enjoy burn the floor but just did not peak my interest. Harry o the Irish guy was amazing super funny definitely would recommend.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All service staff was amazing. I am still impressed on how some of the bar tenders can remember your drink order

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
While the ship is beautifully and kept very clean. It is poorly designed and furnished. Normally at the aft and forward of the ship you can walk down or up the middle between the elevators. Not here you have to walk around to one of the sides. The also chose a very large and not very useful couch in the atrium were the hose most of the games. They should have just used smaller chairs instead of the couch. So if you want to do a popular game in the atrium get there early you may just have to sit in a folding chair

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very spacious plenty of storage. Has a electric plug on the side the bed closest to the couch /door which was nice as I use a cpap machine. Each end table has a lamp that has a usb plug where you could charge your phone.

Ship tip

Go in knowing that the design to very bad, make sure to get to events early

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Simple and easily

Notice a spelling error after I posted there is a electric outlet that you can plug into on the side of the bed closest to the couch/door.
