Review summary

The cruise provided excellent accommodation, and the restaurants were above average. Because of limited seating reservations were recommended, the reservations could be made 45 days prior to sailing but were limited to less than half the number of cruise days. However there was little entertainment offered. The main venue held about 450 and backup venue about 150, the ship was designed to carry 2,700 passengers. Consequently seeing a show required booking and the available times were limited. There were three shows, one was a cirque du soleil like enactment of Romeo and Juliet, the cast showed tremendous ability and courage. Of the other two one was a "game show", which showed little evidence of prior thought, the final one was a variety type format, including a number of performers some of whom mirrored the Romeo and Juliet show. The ship public areas seemed to be all on hallways, there were few (no) quiet areas. Total reliance on a phone base app for all reservations, activities etc. amplified any wifi issues. Using the premium onboard wifi (extra $80) allowed connection at around 5 Mbs, but the nature of the satellite link caused some sites to refuse connection. Although the cruise covered Christmas, no Christmas themed efforts, decorations etc were made by the crew. I would not recommend this cruise to anyone wishing to enjoy more than a pool and a bar
