Entertainment

All the stage shows were excellent. Hairspray was a broadway worthy performance and the aqua show (Hiro) is always impressive and energetic! I didn’t expect to like the “Flight”show but it was also excellent!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

We typically book an inside cabin so this was adequate in size and comfort for this type of cabin. We specifically wanted to be on deck 8 because we love Central Park and the location was perfect for us.

Ship tip

Huge ship but didn’t feel overcrowded. So many options for dining, activities, trivia, and the solarium was really nice - not too hot since it has some open areas.
