Overall, a great cruise! Nothing in life is perfect, nor is any cruise, but this one was one of our best. The ship is gorgeous in my opinion. I loved the more muted colors and expanses of "wood" throughout. The layout, while not ideal, was suitable to navigate the ship with ease. The public rooms varied greatly in size to better break up the ship's complement of passengers. I must also say that with nearly 4100 people aboard, it never felt crowded.

The entertainment is like nothing you will find aboard any other ship. Just having Blue Man Group aboard is a major coup. And they were great. The show Cirque Dreams and Dinner has had mixed reviews. I thought that there was too much dialogue and the seats were the worst on the entire ship, but the performers were unparalleled anywhere at sea. Fat Cats Lounge was rocking nightly with Slam Allen and his band... they were the best "band" I have seen on any ship. There was much more going on that we might have missed or only checked in on. Nightly parties were the thing at Spice H20. Most were themed and the cruise staff did a great job amping up the energy and making sure everyone had fun. Bliss Ultralounge was always the last stop of the night. The DJ's are actual pros and the best I have experienced... not the same songs night after night. Read more
