Food and Dining

main dining room food was great. ate at chops one night, delicious as expected but pricey. drinks were delicious as always. got the booze package and they don't hold back satisfying my craving!

Service and Staff

our room attendant was awesome. our dining room waiter was good but i wouldnt say awesome.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
ship is awesome. lot of people and it seemed like it at times, but i should expect to wait a bit for stuff. the pool bars had a pretty good wait time. i wish they would plan better. ship is new and still looks good!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
it was pretty impressive. prob the best standard cabin ive had on a ship yet. size was good and it was new and clean. it said an obstructed ocean view. one railing was out the window. still had a great view!

Ship tip

prepare to wait a bit for some activities and bar service.

Perfect Day At Coco Cay, Bahamas

5 out of 5
the island looked really cool!! it was tough trying to find a beach chair. they could definitely could use lots more! we didnt stay long bc it poured rain and was super windy. not the cruise lines fault though.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
pretty much just walking time from the room to where we got picked up. the new way to get through customs is awesome. the pick-up area was super packed and was poorly designed for so many people. traffic was a bitch and sooo many people there. awful experience.
