Ship experiences

Food and Dining

I had the unlimited dining pkg this week. Loved the choices. The restaurants were great! Service was fantastic. Breakfast, I ate at the Solarium Bistro most mornings. It was fast and easy. Food was buffet style but mostly made to order with very little wait.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The ultimate Abyss was lots of fun. Hardly any lines the Perfect Storm waterslide was lots of fun...even though I exceeded the weight limit. In the immortal words of the attendant. As long as I don't get stuck inside, I'm good...I was good! The other 2 slides were racers. They were cute and I beat an 8 year old girl to the bottom. I'm so proud.

Entertainment

Aqua80 was the best show I've ever seen! Beatlmaniacs was great!! The comedians were fun! Ventriloquist was good.

Ship Quality

The ships layout is easy to navigate. The crew did a great job cleaning and sanitizing. Thanks for making us feel safe

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Nice sized cabin. Nothing too surprising. It was clean. Not a fan of the beds pushed together. The balcony was very spacious for a little cabin. Less impressed with the bathroom. I'm a big guy 6ft 4in 300lbs The shower is barely big enough to stand in and wash. Don't drop the soap! The water pressure was fantastic!

Ship tip

Don't be intimidated by the size of the ship. I found find anything was simple when you broke the ship into 2 decks Deck 5 and deck 15 you can access both sets of elevators to any deck. You can go anywhere aft to forward. Once you realize it...its easy peasy

Ports of call

Port Canaveral, Florida

It was a bit windy day. Moved the sailaway party from the Wipeout bar and Ultimate Abyss to the Solarium

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Spent the day at Coco Beach Club. Fantastic experience. The service was excellent. The drinks were plentiful. Lobster was delicious. Only downside. It was a rough sea day and my Jetski excursion was canceled.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
This was part 1 of my b2b My disembarkation was going to the royal theater waiting with 150 other b2b. Then getting off the ship then back on...the wait to get back on was kind of long...about an hour. But still was on the ship 90 min before everyone else.

Hi RoughShot! We met on the NCL Escape a couple of years ago. We both got the Noro virus on that trip. :/ So glad you had a good time. I’ll be on the Oasis next June. Thanks for the review

Thank you for the review. Did you need to test for Covid on part 2 of your b2b?
