Review summary

The food in the main dining room and speciality restaurants was very good. The buffet was too small and always crowded. The Indulge food hall was the best restaurant idea on a cruise ship I have ever seen. I wish every cruise line would copy this. Syd Norman's Pour House and the Improv at Sea comedy club are too small for this size ship. Always lines an hour before the show starts. The interior design of the ship is not very good causing crowdedness. Only one small swimming pool for a ship this size. A comment I heard from a number of passengers, was that the ship seemed to be designed by someone that had never been on a cruise ship before.

Beetlejuice, The Musical and Icons were very good. As for the other shows in the theater, where most cruise ships will have different performers come and go from the ship, this ship just reused there performers over and over. Really cut down on the variety.
