Did this ship 12 months ago and enjoyed even more this time
Embarkation
4 out of 5
No waiting at security or check in. Short wait to board, all very organised.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Found the food on Sky this time even better than before. Quality of food from buffet to MDR was very good.
Only bad dining experience we had was a breakfast at the Palace, unbelievably slow and orders all wrong. Evening dining always great.
Late night snacks was only available at the Local, which got very busy later on and very limited menu.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Plenty of trivia, dance classes etc
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Comedian on board was very good. The ship band Sonata was exceptional, probably the best we’ve seen at sea, very talented bunch.
Game shows in Bliss lounge we’re always entertaining. Glad to see they’ve moved Newly/Not so Wed game show to theatre, always a massive pull and never disappoints
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Service was excellent right across the board. Didn’t see much of room steward but had no complaints. Bar tenders in Bliss & Topsiders were really friendly and always on their game.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Ships design made it easy to navigate. Bars and lounges were always pristine.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Decent size for ocean view cabin. Plenty of storage. Bathroom a little small with the dreaded shower curtain🙁. Bed very comfy and everything spotlessly clean.
We were the only ship in and it was wonderfully quiet for a change. Caught water taxi to Great Bay Beach for $7 pp return.
Took beach chairs, brolly and 4 free drinks at Bigwood on the boardwalk for $30. Beautiful relaxing day on beach with a touch of jewellery shopping.
Planned on relaxing day in port area as they had extended swimming/beach area since our last visit. Unfortunately the prices of the drinks had doubled since our last visit, Nov last year😤. $14 for a strawberry daquari, which was pretty awful. So returned to ships drinks package and a freshly made Miami Vice.
This port was buzzing last time we were here, not so this time…wonder why🤔
Took excursion the transfer to airport with ship. Took an hour and half to get off ship and on to bus, so not good, especially when the coach guy accused US of being late. We’d been sat waiting for an hour to get off! 2 facial recognition machine just isn’t enough for a speedy disembarkation!
