My mom, sister, aunt and I went on this very last minute cruise back in April and had a fabulous time. I am confident we would all give it 5 stars.
Entertainment/ Activities - You can't go wrong with this ship in terms of activities and entertainment. Perhaps the best part of being on a mega ship is that there are activities literally all day long to keep the guests entertained. Some are better than others but from the phenomenal water slides and ropes course to the escape room, to the supper club to the Broadway quality evening entertainment, you will not be bored unless you try very, very hard. I enjoyed For the Record well enough but we all LOVED After Midnight. It was a very high quality production and we would have seen it twice if there weren't so many other things to do. Definitely see that one!
Service - We received INCREDIBLE service. We were not suite guests so I have no reason to assume we received anything other than standard levels of service. Everyone was efficient and went above and beyond the call of duty. My sister's food requirements were very well looked after and she never once fell ill from food on this trip. Additionally, I can say the staff all genuinely seemed happy, and to love their work.
Cabin Review
Balcony Stateroom
Cabin BF
Room - Our cabin was 9160. The location was perfect! It was a quick walk to the forward stairs and it was just one deck about the waterfront, but over cabins so that there was no noise from above or below. We also never heard anything from the rooms beside us. People complain about the size of the balcony rooms. Yes, they aren't as large as Disney or Carnival's rooms. But they are much more modernly appointed. Having slept four adult women in this room comfortably enough, I would say that if the price is right, a balcony is still better than two interiors. However I will admit that it would certainly have been more comfortable for a couple.
Port Reviews
Miami
I love this port! It is so beautiful to sail out of. Haven't ever spent enough time in the city to really explore though.
St. Thomas
We spent the day snorkeling at Coki Beach (beautiful and great snorkeling) and then grabbed some food downtown at the Green House. Downtown is an easily walkable distance if you're full abled, so that's a good way to save money.
Tortola
Very pretty island. We took a land tour of the island with a friend and got to see so much. Definitely a good visit.
Nassau
We went to the Pirates Museum here and did a bit of light shopping. The museum was very fun, if a bit pricey for what it has on offer. We wanted to make the most out of our Vibe passes so opted out of visiting the beach. The vendors are definitely pushy here which makes for a less pleasant port experience than some others.
