Review summary

We had a good time on our first voyage, but in the end we think this was a one and done adventure for us, but never say never. Time will tell.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
The server/network check-in tablets rely on failed twice and had to be rebooted. Each reboot took 10+ minutes, so the check-in process was lengthy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food in all of the restaurants was outstanding! The 15th floor food court had hits and misses, but overall very good!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I had to say excellent because this rating didn't have a "Not Applicable", and I didn't partake in any ship activity.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The music and a few stage shows were very good, others not so much. I expected better based on what others told us of their cruise experiences.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was on top of everything!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Bathrooms were hard to find at first, and elevators were quite warm due to large plasma displays on the back wall that gives off a lot of heat. I'm sure this will improve greatly if they ever upgrade to microLED screens in the future.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was comfortable, clean, and the size was adequate.

I was on the sailing just prior to yours, and we had the same issues with the computers during check in. We also had a lot of issues with the VV app.
