Review summary

We had the Starbucks package and used it up. The food was amazing. Being a new ship, it is beautiful. We don’t drink, so can’t say anything about that. The only thing I was the Newlywed game was earlier not 930 when we have to be off the boat at 8 the next morning. Don’t miss Bettlejuice best show at sea.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We did not visit the buffet at all. The buffet is not our thing. We ate at main dining, Endulge food hall, Local, 2 specialties, they were all amazing. Endulge is such a wonderful concept and such good food.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Comedians were good, but the improv is super small. We arrived at 7 in line and was opened at 730 and was full immediately. Bettlejuice was amazing… we would see it again. It is a little edgy but so funny! Truly a step up from other entertainment on ships.

Ship Quality

I love that people are not all gathered in one area. The ships design is awesome to spread people throughout.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Perfect room right outside the elevator, also ‘being a suite the amenities were great. Dining for breakfast in Cagney and personal escorts off and on the ship.
