Sail Date: Dec 2018
Cabin: Verandah Spa Stateroom

I had never been on a cruise before so sailing on a brand new ship probably has set me up for a bit of disappointment for future cruises, but I was very, very impressed to say the least.

The embarkation process was quick and uneventful as I was onboard and in the cabin by 1230. As I proceeded to the cabin I found the ship absolutely pristine in cleanliness as was the cabin. Ample closet space, very comfortable bedding and a great veranda. The cabin stewards quickly introduced themselves and were more than just friendly, seriously.

During the next 7 days I found the food in all venues in which I ate, Lido Market, Main Dining Room, Pinnacle Grill and Rudis Sel de Mar beyond reproach. I was very, very impressed and happy with the offerings and service in the latter two. Even the Lido Market provided excellent variety and service. I never felt rushed in any sense and was extremely happy with the cleanliness in all the food prep and serving areas. Fantastic all the way around.

Verandah Spa Stateroom

Cabin VQ

Excelllent. Bedding was extremely comfortable. the veranda chairs were quite good. Bathroom was perfect in every way.

The only caveat to this room is that it is adjacent to the Lido Pool and on an occasion or two I could hear the movies being shown there in the evening but with earplugs it really was not an issue.
