Do you have a ship with open front and back to access view? Something smaller instead of changing cruise lines. I felt a little out of place with special stuff for the upper class. It was the most amazing ship and nothing like it. We Loved our time on it but could not do all those activities or get to either end of ship unless we were wealthy . Wanted to see us leaving out of port but first thing I see is Reserved sign to go to front of ship and wanted to be outside but soliumn was hot and crowded. No open air and access to front and back .

Food and Dining

We Loved our nightly reservations with Catherine and Viraj . They made us feel like family and were excellent at their job in every way! Food was excellent!!! We alway look forward to dining with them every night. Very hard workers but smiling and friendly. Very good team!!! Table 142 The Icon Grill
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
We went to the Soliumn several times but chairs were filled with a towel and belongings but no one in them.
We could not enjoy the front of the ship because it was reserved or either a few loungers always full or full of their stuff. Back of ship was rock wall and diving show. Ours could not perform and when they did it was 30 minutes but could be because of wind. We were not told why. I think a movie should of been playing to use this space since you could not see where you had been it going.
Entertainment
I had mapped out our itinerary and they had to put the water show on another night and double booked our shows. So all the planning I did I missed the ice show and comedy show. So only saw 30 minutes of entertainment our whole cruise

Ship tip
Get a Balcony room to enjoy the views and ocean always. If you do not have children and cannot do rock wall or zip line or wave runner pick another ship. We did not do any of that so I would like to see one for couples . Not every one has family, children. Romantic Cruise would be nice for couples. Not so big. It was our first on this hugh ship and something for everyone but soliumn should be for older guest, 16 was to young .
Port was nice. Excursion in Cozumel.
Very overwhelmed with how to pick what to do when you get there. We missed out in Jamaica and Hati because we did not know to go to shuttle service or that their was a gift shop at far end. Snorkeling was our intention at Hati but we needed to be all the way at the end. No layout available online planning. Missed out on it being awesome every Port.
Port was nice but new and confused about which way things were. Beautiful but wasted our time not knowing to go to cabanas area. Next time rent one earlier.
Should have booked excursion because no water here to get into. Seems you have to pay to get in water every where. I felt buckled and dimed to death. No excursion here , not sure what to do? Which one? We were there all day excursions were 3 hours.
Beautiful Port! We went to Chakanumb
Which we finally went snorkeling . My husband wanted to go there but I would of picked a hotel excursion with pool, snorkeling and lunch. People were friendly, current was strong and we enjoyed our time there. Food was good for lunch. Very clean place. Did not get to see any of island. Enjoyed our day.
