Review summary

The cruise was wonderful. One problem seemed to be that there is no where to fill water bottles all the water areas say do Not fill bottles! They need more drink areas on the ship where you can get water/lemonade ect.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation went very smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Most of the food is quite good, the steaks in main dining room are not good quality, but the vast majority of the rest of food was much better than we eat at home!

Windows (Main Dining Room)

5 out of 5

Service is impeccable, food is very good and you can get whatever you wish and if you don’t like an item they will happily get you something else.One thing like all of this ship it is Extremely amazingly clean!

Windjammer Marketplace

Buffet is very clean and well kept many varieties of foods. It’s so busy it can be very difficult to get a seat.The different foods we had were very good.

Johnny Rockets

Venue is very cool, servers were great. We went for breakfast, but the pancakes were just lukewarm but all of it tasted very good. The booths are tight but there are tables outside.

Jamie's Italian

Best of the best, food was fabulous, service was amazing. Only complaint is the sound echoes in the restaurant so it’s hard to hear.

Park Cafe

Enjoyed going here for light breakfast and snacks . Good place to get drinks in morning and early day.We wished they were open later at night.This is the only place in Central park other than speciality restaurants.

Sorrento's

Pizza is quite good, service is fast, only complaint is people take all the chairs out into promenade so theres nowhere to sit just tables a-lot of times with no chair.

Onboard Activities

So many things to do all over the ship you’ll never be bored. It is nicely spread out and full of Fun!

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Studio B

5 out of 5

The skating show was so fun! The venue is very nice the chairs recline a bit and when you stand they kind of retract and give you more room to walk out of the row. We never got to see the second skating show because it was at same time as another show we were going to and you also couldn’t reserve the second skating show.

Royal Theatre

5 out of 5

Seating is wonderful and the shows were absolutely fantastic!

The Attic

4 out of 5

Not a bad venue, but the comics actually did better at the Royal Theatre because there were many more people to interact with which made it much more funny.

AquaTheater

5 out of 5

Amazing a definite must see!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
There was not one staff that we encountered that wasn’t so very pleasant and kind and helpful. They truly are an amazing group of people who are so helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We have never seen a ship so spotless ever. Someone is everywhere always cleaning, even the running track and lifeboats are spotless! Lol

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was awesome, couch was roomy and comfy and next to the balcony. The balcony was roomy, we had the divider pulled back so we could be with family next door. The problem with that is, it only folds a small portion back so it’s not really open, we solved the issue by moving their chairs to our balcony also! Problem solved and we still had room. We noticed is its very tight to walk between bed and TV. Arnell was our steward and he was amazing and SO helpful and kind. The room was spotlessly clean and fresh smelling.

Ship tip

Do not miss the shows they are all worth it! Just relax and let it all soak in and have fun everyday, don’t stress, it’s Your vacation You do You!

Thanks for sharing your cruise experience. Glad you enjoyed your cruise. When filling my water bottle, I use a cup that’s provided at the water and ice machines and fill the cup. Then I pour the water and ice from the cup into my water bottle.
