Review summary
Had never cruised for more than 7 days before. Overall Cruise was very enjoyable and there was enough to do to stay busy. Wish there could have been better access to sports on TV. Only got Limited news stations. On demand movies and TV were good. Food was very good but slow service in main dining room was an issue.Embarkation
Issues with card reader caused the boarding process to be delayed.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Slow service in the Vista dining room ruined what was otherwise a fun dining experience. Buffets were very good.
Onboard Activities
Excellent computer classes, America’s Test Kitchen sessions, Texas Hold-em tournaments were very good, except that the same classes were offered on the return trip. Wished that there would have been different offerings.
Entertainment
Main stage and BB King entertainment was very good. Wish there would have be more entertainment by the pools, etc.
Children's Programs
No children traveling with us.
Service and Staff
Ship staff was outstanding except for the slow service in the Vista dining room. Our cabin stewards were outstanding and the ships crew were very friendly and helpful.
Ship Quality
Ship was clean and well maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
Cabin was acceptable size. It was clean and comfortable.
Ship tip
No laundry facilities on ship. Laundry service offered by ship is expensive. Pack accordingly.

Disembarkation
Timely and very efficient. Shuttle service to airport actually got us there too early! Made handling a large amount of luggage very easy.
