Sail Date: Nov 2017
Cabin: Studio Interior Stateroom with Virtual View

Let me start out by saying that this ship is beautiful- it is one of the most modern cruise ships I have even on. Which is why its a shame the cruise failed to impress.

Embarkation: Fast and efficient in hong kong. We were on the ship less then 30 mins after cruise terminal arrival.

Dining: Not very good. This ship has now started charging $7.95 for room service (expect breakfast) I will be traveling on royal less because of this. The windjammer buffet was a mess. Completely overcrowded and understaffed. It took me at least 20 mins every time I went there to get an omelet. For dinner in the evening the two restaurants on deck 4 were very nice but on the first day the 8:00PM dinner was delayed until at least 8:25. Imagine a crowd of people waiting to eat not my idea of a fun vacation. The food the other nights was ok but RCCL has stopped offering lobster on formal night. The food in the dining room was pretty good but nothing to write home about.

Cabin Review

Studio Interior Stateroom with Virtual View

Cabin SI

small cabin about 120 square feet but does the job- plenty of storage space. Virtual balcony was pretty cool- you didn't feel claustrophobic and could wake up to the sunrise and see sunset from screen
