Review summary

It was a GREAT experience. Everything was incredibly well organized. Loved the shows and entertainers, music by the pool, great wait staff, etc. If there was anything that I thought could be better was the size of the pool. Could have been a little bigger for the amount of people on board. And needed more soda machines.

Main Dining Room waiters were top notch. Could not possibly have been any better. They were unbelievably efficient, friendly, talented. I miss them already, wish I could have taken them home with me.

Room Steward, John was the BEST. Loved him. Main Dining Room waiters were top notch. Could not possibly have been any better. They were unbelievably efficient, friendly, talented.

Everything was exceptionally clean. very impressed how everything was always being cleaned or painted. loved that there was hand sanitizer everywhere.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
GREAT! Size was bigger than expected, comfortable bed, nice design. John kept it very clean. One small thing-- it needed more places to hang damp suits.

Ship tip

Get a window room or better yet a balcony.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Everything and every moment on the ship was superb, except when we were leaving, It was organized very well but it seemed that our waiting place (the theatre) wasn't air conditioned and that they suddenly didn't care about us anymore because we were leaving.

Saw on another post about painting...why continually paint with passengers onboard?
