Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food was overall quite good. The specialty restaurants including chops grille and Jamie’s Italian were delicious.

Jamie's Italian

5 out of 5

Hands down I would give this 100 stars if I could. Best Italian food I have ever ate and I come from an Italian family.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The sea place was a great venue for a ship going to colder weather itineraries such as Alaska. Trivia and other events during the day were limited. Bumper car lines were over two hours on sea days. The silent parties in 270 were very fun but only a bit over an hour long…

Silent parties were very fun, but too short!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was very clean. The design was one of my favorite. However I feel that they scaled the promenade area back a little bit too much from their previous designs. The solarium pools are awesome with their tiered design. I do wish the hot tubs on Thais ship were 24 hours like others though

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
You could tell the ship was designed recently because lots of outlets including usbs

Ship tip

Book activities as soon as you get on the ship. We often got turned away because of full activities.
