Embarkation

5 out of 5

Smooth...utilized their new (to me) Verifly app and got to board ahead of others...same as Club Orange.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Lido is always better than good but this was our first Club Orange dining experience and it compares well with specialized dining (except no reservation required)...same menu as daily main dining with one special Club Orange entree...dining area only holds about 80 and typically seat you with your party...

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Did not participate

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Very good in main stage area...other venues include BB King, Rock n Roll and Billboard

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

New ship first sailing in Oct 2021...

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Sun deck/balcony is always our first choice but forgot that cabin steward storeroom was across the hall...so sometimes extra activity was noticed...but on the positive/convenient side, they were always available when you opened your door.
