Review summary

An excellent experience of the world's largest cruise ship. The seas were calm during our cruise but even so we really had no sense of the movement of the ship. It takes two or three days just to get oriented to the ship, it is so big!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food quality was inconsistent. At times, it was excellent but at other times, the quality was not what we expected.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Fitness center was excellent. Lots of options for walking around, shopping, etc. Pools were also very nice. Solarium was excellent. Really liked Central Park because it was quieter than other locations on the ship.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Top marks for Voices and for Tap. We chose to see Voices twice because it was so good. The Aquatheatre was amazing but a it "dark" in tone. The technology of the aquatheatre was incredible. Ice show was also excellent.

Children's Programs

No children with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room steward Jenin on deck 9 was excellent. Service in the Main Dining Room, deck 5 was superb. Head waiter June and our table staff (Milford and Royston) were all excellent. They went out of their way to give top-notch service.

This was a great cabin. Bigger than many balcony cabins we have had on other ships. Design of the bathroom and cabin layout were excellent.
