Review summary

We were on Anthem in January so Serenade was quite a change but we found this smaller ship a better fit for us. Easy check in. No standing in long lines for anything. Staff was friendly. Only drawback is no 24 hour food place like Anthem had.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy and fast. We arrived before our scheduled time but they urged us to board anyway

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Loved this smaller ship. Plenty of tables to sit and play games. Didn’t have to search for them.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Clean and comfortable but we were over the pub and nightly music and very loud cheering kept us up. Complained but they came to check it out in daytime when there was no noise. Went down one night to customer service twice and they finally stopped at 12 midnight. My advice is check what’s under your cabin before you book
