Review summary

It was just packed! The pool area was gross.. hundreds and hundreds of people. No chairs..the service is always awesome. The food was alright. A lot of people got covid on this trip. The passenger count was over 6200. Again .. bring your masks. All crew member wore them. I love cruising but we won’t go on this shop again. Going on the Anthem in April

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We mainly hung in the solarium, when we were able to find seating. The other pools Outside was an absolute madhouse. It was disgusting how many people were in the pool. Just gross

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The Aqua theater was awesome, was the second time we saw it. Again if you didn’t book everything in advance, You lost out. The Bars were all nice and service was excellent, but again packed. We went to see the Led Zeppelin show.. pretty good but he got really sick and had to divert the ship.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
We took a grand children, and they absolutely loved the kids club when every day. Again there was no room in the pool

The ship is a Marvel, an absolutely beautiful

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The room was comfortable, but not enough space table wise Or counter wise. The closet was gigantic, and it was my favorite part of the whole room. We had a beautiful bathroom with a tub and every day it was spotless

Ship tip

Book early.. wear a mask, especially the elevators.. a lot of people including my 14 year old granddaughter (who was fully vaxed) got covid

Ports of call

Cape Liberty (Bayonne), New Jersey

5 out of 5

Nassau, Bahamas Did not visit port

Too crowded..and hounded by locals to constantly buy is annoying as hell

5 out of 5
We purchased itinerary to beach club.. absolutely beautiful..loved the Infinity pool.. lobster and steak for lunch and not crowded at all. The best part of the trip

We’re going on the Anthem in April.. getting a grand suite which entitles you to private deck area by pool..also Coastal Kitchen.. keeping my fingers crossed😀🤞

Thanks for your review. We usually don't get in the pool or hot tubs on the ship

Anthem will be just as crowded but hopefully Covid will be done by then.

Sorry they are back to maximum passengers. I agree, so many people in a pool is pretty gross. Never go on a ship to go swimming. The pools are tiny compared to the number of passengers. If a pool is necessary for a good vacation, don't take a cruise.
