Review summary

Lovely ship. Friendly crew. We found the Muzak too loud and jarring- it was cranked by the pool 7x24.

Rocket fast- the Port of New Orleans does not mess around

Room stewards were lovely.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

You can walk around - mostly. The Helipad was open a lot. The covered open dining aft was amazing. Lots of windows and glass.

Cabin / Stateroom

Quiet and roomy. Newish bed.

Ship tip

If you can find the ship in the off season - go - a great value

Getting off the ship- easy. The RCCL bus process was a bit disorganized.
