Sail Date: Jul 2018
Cabin: Obstructed Ocean View Balcony

The ship is very pretty and modern, but much narrower than Oasis class ships so therefore felt much more crowded. Impossible to get seats in the Solarium on sea days unless you were there by 7 am. Food in the Windjammer was sub par and also very crowded. I was unable to get turkey burgers like on Oasis and had to ask for chicken sausage, which were not on the buffet as on Oasis. As a Diamond member, I was unable to utilize the Diamond Lounge because I was not allowed a guest. I was traveling with my sister, who is a Platinum member, and did not want to go alone. I feel 1 guest should be allowed in with a member. On Labadee we went to Columbus Cove beach, which was a mistake. You have to pass by very pushy vendors wanting you to come shop at their kiosks. They were very annoying and a little frightening. The bumper cars, I fly, and Northstar were all fun. Food in the main dining room was very good as well.

Cabin Review

Obstructed Ocean View Balcony

Cabin 1E

The stateroom #6674 was probably the most roomy I've ever had on a cruise ship with 2 closets and plenty of drawers, which was very nice, although the balcony view was obstructed.

The muster drill was a nightmare, we were crowded into Vintages and the area in front of Jamie's with little a/c. It started at 3:40 because they were waiting for missing passengers, and by the time it ended and I finally got an elevator to the upper deck I missed the sailaway. They should have started it a half hour earlier.
