Embarkation

5 out of 5

Got on ship in record time due to Handicap status

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main Dining Room absolutely the best, Johnnie Rockets disappointing also as was Chops Grille not a good value and food meh. Sorrento Pizza is great but very dry due to sparse very little tomato sauce. Dog House hot dogs A1. Windjammer Buffet was slightly disappointing with a largely Hindu fare. Park Cafe was 5 stars . The roast beef was amazing. Johnnie Rockets is lackluster. I been to one that had jukeboxes on the tables and metal frames on glasses. Milk Shakes were over sweet syrupery. Trash the shake. Get White Castles a better deal. Johnnie Rockets is a 5s style not here.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Not much activities involving walking is tiresome due to mobility issues I have.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Ice Show and Hairspray was so real like Broadway.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Room Stewards were so friendly. waiter and staff amazing.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean and well maintained. One problem very Important. Each Elevator area has six elevators. At certain times there was no room for a walker or battery cart. BEST ADVICE: PLEASE DESIGNATE ONE ELEVATOR OUT OF 6 TO HAVE A HANDICAP ONLY SIGN. LOTS OF TIMES I HAD TO WAIT 10 MINUTES FOR AN EMPTY ELEVATOR VERY FRUSTRATING.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Room was meticulous. would be nice if smoking cigars permitted on balcony.

Ship tip

Be prepared to walk alot and if you cannot a handicap power cart great investment.
