Review summary

This was a great ship. There are enough areas for everyone to go and enjoy, however they want. The shows were top notch. Lots of art work to look at and find all around the ship. The parades at night were fun to watch. The nightly "special parties", shouldn't be missed.

Our room stewards was just a delight. Keep our cabin always clean and ready for us. Our main dining room attendant was cheerful and always knew what we wanted. Boleros and Trills bartenders, were friendly and quick to serve.

We rented an Oasis Pool cabana.....it was the best thing to do. Our attendant was there when we needed her. She brought our lunch to the cabana. We had a cooler with water and ice. Enough lounge chairs for the group. You just can't go wrong with a cabana..

Disembarkation

Easy easy easy....no more showing your passport. You just look into a tv screen and you're done...out the door. The ONLY big problem, was getting over 5000 guest out, while 5000 more are coming in. The pick up was horrible, but we managed to get our car service to find us.

50 years Bold Anniversary Presidents Voyage

Beds too hard. I am only 44, my back, neck, knees and hips hurt. The worse bed I have ever slept on.
