Review summary

The ship was beautiful, but the shopping on board was terrible. No other sizes except small in everything. Very little selection. No place to buy sunscreen, Tylenol, bandaid, seasickness wristbands, etc.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was excellent.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Evening shows, pool, fitness center, lounge music.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
The comedy show was good. The game shows we’re not professionally performed. Too much of the same thing every day and evening, trivia & karaoke. Very disappointing.

Children's Programs

We didn’t bring children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent and prompt service from waiters, even the ones in training were good. Our room steward, Fred, was exceptional.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was very well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The layout and furnishings in our cabin were beautiful. The only thing that is very necessary is a nightlight in the bathroom. The light is blinding if you get up in the middle of the night to use the washroom. It’s actually a safety hazard not to have some sort of dim light to use at night.

Ship tip

Expect to wait in ridiculously long line for embarkation and debarking the ship. The terminal is depress and needs air conditioning and a total update.

The Beach Day in Maui excursion was terrible. We were led through a beautiful hotel onto a very long flagstone path to the very end of the public beach. Chairs were very low and you were unable to lie down. An extra $25 (was not mentioned ) in the description of the excursion . The umbrellas were tattered and old. The bathroom was a cinder block filthy building with no one replacing toilet paper. The refreshments shack was not shaded and had one table. There wa no place to get out of the sun.

Thanks for the review. I never leave it til I’m on the ship to buy the items you mentioned. Apart from the fact they’re way overpriced on the ship you don’t want to risk not being able to get them.

Very disappointed in service and accommodating a food allergy.
