I chose this cruise to try out the studio cabin, and I liked the itinerary. The cruise took place over Christmas, and the ship tried to make it as festive as possible, but it still felt as though something was missing, and I did not feel in the festive spirit. The entertainment was good, and I really enjoyed the comedy club. Dining was adequate but unimaginative. The specialty restaurants were a better choice. I tried Teppanyaki and the sushi bar- both were excellent. Lineups for check-in were really long, and did not move very fast. My biggest issue was with the elevators. We were constantly waiting for elevators- the ship could use another set. Service was adequate, but I did not actually meet my cabin steward. The fitness facilities were excellent, and plentiful, and the ropes course was great. All in all, I thought the ship and cruise were above average, but with some issues.
