Review summary

In short, I think the design of the ship is efficient and enjoyable. It is not hard to find your way around and it is easy to get where you want to go! It is modern without being obtuse. My favorite part of the ship is the poolside area. It is comfortable, colorful and very Caribbean! It makes you want to party. And do not miss Perfect Day at Coco Cay-a unique experience and well designed even for all ages. Everyone will find something to do!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Enbarkation was smooth and pain free. There were plenty of agents available to assist you. Recommendation: when entering the terminal, make sure you have you ID, sail at sea pass and vaccination information available to speed up the process.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The Windjammer providedf a wide array of choices for all meals. Additionally, the chocolate and cheese carvings are to be marvelled at. There is a wide selection of choices from cheese plates to petite filet, mediterranean choices, traditional, a varitable phelthora of breads and desserts. Do take more than one dessert-you will be sorry if you don't. And word for the wise: DEFINATELY try the cinnamon buns and tres leche buns at breakfast. I promise you will want more than one!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Your choices go from bumper cards, to flow riding, to virtual reality games, to simulated sky diving to the North Star, which takes you 300 ft above sea level....there is something for everyone's level of experience. Additionally, the pool area is so cheerful with its colorful decor and chaise chairs IN the pool!

Entertainment

I wleave you not knowing where to look first. Don't miss Show girls, which will have you clapping through the whole show.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service was impecable. No matter where you turn, there is someone waiting to give you your favorite drink. The staff was plentiful and always smiling at you, in spite of their masks. You can see that they are smiling! The robots at the robotic bar are a fun experience, while they create your drink of choice.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Immaculate and stunning is all I can say! Love the QUIET, glass elevators and would not hesitate to recommend cabins near the elevators. The shopping area, The Royal Esplanade, felt like you were shipping an expensive galleria.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had the most incredible view from our balcony. We were aft and spent alot of time on the balcony. The room was narrow and my only complaint was that there was only about 1 ft between the end of the bed and the wall, making it difficult to walk. But everything about it was fantastic other than that. It was well thought out with even a bar to foot your foot on to wash it in the shower. Since the shower was all gladd, it felt much roomier.

Ship tip

I would suggest that you make reservations for any onboard activities that you wish to do as they get filled early.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Disembarkation was a breeze. The facial recognition made the process very efficient.
