Review summary

Staff was more hands off. I think I liked that more but honestly I had a great connection with dining and stateroom on my last cruise. Photos are not taken of you everywhere which was a plus. Evening entertainment was always kid friendly.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Fastest ever. get your medallion before you set out for speedy entry.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food was great but there seemed to be more variety in the buffets with other cruise lines. We were able to pick our own time at the dining room, unlike other cruiselines but this also lead to a lack of staff connection and them "knowing what you want" because they got to know you from previous days.

Entertainment

great external talent.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Friendly but servers do not walk around much taking drink orders. They are more hands off (which can be good and bad)

Ship tip

Fill out/sign up for as much as you can before on boarding. Dining, preferences, excursions. Everything will be right there when you board if you do so.
