Review summary
This ship feels like a small city floating on the sea. There were pros and cons to our experience.
Pros: Staterooms were spacious and clean; Ship was beautifully crafted with smart use of space; loved the spa & solarium area; ice skating show was the best entertainment we've seen on any ship; fantastic entertainment venues.
Cons: Crew seemed overworked and rude; crew responded negatively to prepaid drink cards; my time dining delivered a poor table and indifferent wait staff; food was average unless you paid extra for the specialty restaurants; outside of the ice skating show & comedy club the other shows were poor.

Ship tip
Book everything online (ie; shows, excursions, drink packages, etc..) to avoid standing in lines. Be aware that even though tips are included and your drinks may be prepaid - servers will want a tip or will provide poor service. Highly recommend valet luggage service - it is worth the $20!
