Review summary

We had a great time. Ate too much. Laughed a lot. Loved the overall atmosphere of the ship and noted how great the staff was.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We had expedited boarding but it looked like everyone was moving through at the same rate as us. It was very smooth and they had a hype man directing everyone into the port which got us all excited.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The Galley was convenient and set up like a food court/ sit down. Some of the food was ok and some was wonderful. They always had sushi bento boxes, sandwiches and fruit for grab and go or hot food made to order. They had an Intelligentsia coffee bar which was a nice surprise. The specialty restaurants were amazing. Gunbae was my least favorite, where they cook the meat at your table, but it was still delicious. Razzle Dazzle was only a breakfast stop for us but we went twice because it was so enjoyable. Extra Virgin was probably our favorite as an upscale Italian restaurant and our waiter was really great walking us through the menu and making sure we tried the best plates. Thanks, Ridwan! Test Kitchen was really fun with unusual offerings but I would not hesitate to go again. They had great wine and cocktail pairings as well. Not recommended for picky eaters as the menu is set. Pink Agave had great Margaritas and solid food choices. Make sure to try the phenomenal pizza place!My only complaint is the drinks were small for the price. Usually $13.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Didn’t make it to many shows. It’s a Ship Show was trying really hard to throw in the F bombs to make it seem more grownup but felt forced and cheesy. They did have some fun acts though. The DJ’s were great. Loved the Drag show around the world in 80 days or something like that. Hilarious and so much fun! Came across one band a few times. The singer had longer curly hair. Really nice to listen to.

Service and Staff

So many great staff members. Really adds to the experience when staff is so friendly and wanting to help you.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The room was a nice size. We had the beds separated which made an L shape. Easy to navigate around but they were FIRM mattresses. The bathroom was a nice size with a rain shower and had held wand. We had a balcony with the signature hammock which was really nice. Wish there were 2.

Ship tip

The onboard shows and activities book up lightning fast. Go anyway. People might have cancelled or don’t show up. They will try to get you in. Also take a screenshot of your day because the app does not work frequently. There were times that I didn’t remember the time or location of something and I missed it because the app was down.

Ports of call

The Beach Club (Virgin Voyages), Bimini Bahamas

Pools were nice. Swim up bar with swinging chairs. There was a dj and crew members hyping up the crowd with dancing. Fun vibe all around. The beach was beautiful with the bluest water. They had a nice quiet hammock section which looked inviting. The food was not great however. Servers walked around for drink orders but it was quicker to just walk to a bar and order yourself. Not a big deal.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

We did not do an excursion here but the pool looked really nice. Too cold that day for swimming. The beach was not accessible there but they probably had beach excursions available. There were plenty of chairs on the sand and around the pool.
