Review summary

We loved everything about this trip, from the food, to the crew, to the entertainment! We only wished we had longer onboard!

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Started out a bit chaotic with long lines but as soon as we were in the terminal it was super smooth and efficient!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Almost every meal we had was excellent, with the exception of one dinner in Razzle Dazzle. We loved the food in the pizza place, the Wake, Extra Virgin, and especially Gunbae! Practically everything was a step up from any other cruise line. Excellent food!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The themed nights, drag themed events, nightly shows (especially duel reality), and every other little fun surprise added up to the most entertaining cruise we have ever had. Our favorite entertainment of all time!

Entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We had excellent, personable staff. We loved how they were encouraged to be themselves and have fun with it, it made for such a happy, engaging, and incredible crew. Seek out Elma in the Draught Haus, she was incredible!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We loved how Scarlet felt unlike any cruise ship we’ve ever been on, we commented that it felt similar to our stay at the W Hotel in Amsterdam, and we loved that feel. Unique, with tons of great spaces

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We loved our central sea terrace! Super clean, and we loved the technology! Controlling the lights, blinds, TV, and even the mood (iykyk) from a tablet was super cool! The hammock on the balcony was the best thing ever!

Ship tip

Make sure to plan your restaurant bookings as soon as they open, as they were near impossible to acquire onboard

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Super quick, we were off the ship and into an Uber in under 5 minutes, helped by super slick facial recognition customs and immigration within the terminal. Didn’t even have to pull out our passports.
