Embarkation

Loved the door to door experience - dropped off steps away from the cruise checkin

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was top notch! La Dame was worth the money and probably our favorite meal based on quality, selection, and taste. The other dining areas were great as well. We really liked the portion sizes, not too big.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We were on this ship to relax and the ship excelled. We were able to find locations all over and the servers would always find us to get us what we needed. Did use the spa (would recommend) and the hot tub…..

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We really liked watching Showtime and didn’t miss any of their performances. The DJ played really good music to dance too as well as the pianist and guitar player…

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All were top notch - from the butler, steward, bartenders, and service staff. It was nice to know everyone by name as well as be called by our name.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We really liked the size - were concerned that it would be too small. In reality, it was a great size and allowed everyone space as well as provide spaces to get together and talk if you wanted.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
From the balcony, double sink, and large closet - we really enjoyed the size of the cabin. The location was great - near mid ship and by the main elevator and stair wells. Would recommend the location and cabin.

Ship tip

Leave all your worries behind, go see the shows (they are a lot of fun) and ask the bartenders to surprise you
