Review summary

So much to say about this cruise! First, embarking was very easy and stress free. Food was good, but not excellent. Food was better on Celebrity. All ports cancelled due to inclement weather. Captain decided to go to Haiti instead. Beaches were nice there but the people were very pushy and tried separating my wife from me and taking her away to either shop, or get robbed. Ship was very crowded to the point we didn’t even get in any pools or hot tubs onboard. Instead we took pictures and shopped and drank. Entertainment was not very good from a guys standpoint. Great from a women’s perspective. I found the entertainment much better on celebrity. Ship is pretty new and obviously clean. We found the pizza place on deck 5 a life saver. I really was annoyed with having to carry a cup around with me everywhere. So I just drank alcohol more. (No stupid cups for that.) we found we ended up doing a lot of walking to go anywhere and do anything. I definitely prefer smaller less crowded ships and ships where I don’t have to carry a stupid cup around with me. Overall, I will not go on this again, however, if big crowds, lots of walking, and average food and entertainment is for you, then I’d recommend this ship for you.

Ship tip

Bring your walking shoes and don’t expect to see all your ports of call as they cancel if there’s a little weather.

I, too was just on this ship, so beautiful. Love the interior Central Park. Not too noisy, and you get some daylight. Plenty of room to store stuff. Great reading book by window. We were in 9655, at the end of Central Park, only note was daytime during pool parties. My husband bought a drink cup "holster" on Amazon. T thanks for the review.

I never even open my cups I go to a bar order a soda or you can even get a whole can of soda if you ask and have alcohol package. We were just on this ship and never felt crowded not even in windjammer and the food was awesome never had such great food. I agree on Haiti very pushy. The entertainment was out of this world even my husband was impressed with the production show and ice show we didn’t get to see others. There were even drones in production show. I’m sorry you didn’t enjoy and thanks for your review but this ship is gorgeous. Did you do abyss? Did you listen to karaoke? Did you listen to music in schooner bar? Did you go on. Floating bar? Did you go to Trivia? Many things to do and not walk and carry a cup🙃🤔
