Single port visit! Prefer more time in a single port to hopping from port to port with little time to explore in each one. Unfortunately, this ship is too large. We had long waits at elevators, entertainment venues were too small to accommodate enough passengers. Embarkation & disembarking were atrocious taking too much time too check-in, too far to walk to gangway & nowhere to sit for a break. Booze bars were the main feature of the ship along with ‘In Your Face’ gambling. A central section of the ship is open to 3 decks allowing smoke to permeate throughout including the waiting area/entrances to 2 of the complimentary dining facilities. 3 young, unsupervised hellions were allowed to run amuck up & down our passageway sounding like a herd of elephants & using loud, nasty language throughout the cruise. Although fun, the lines for the water slides was overly long & inefficient. Enjoyed the Ropes Course & Zip Line. Although the food was well prepared & tasty, there was a lack of variety from day to day & was occasionally served at room temperature. Not enough hot tubs! They were constantly overpacked like sardines. Dinner music in the main dining room was excellent.

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin was adequate. Steward was adequate.

Port Reviews

New York (Manhattan)

Used cruise line transfer service to get from Newark airport to ship terminal it was a good experience.

King's Wharf

Got a good look at the whole island along with some history. Loved it!

If your vacation goal is to booze it up a LOT, gamble away all your money & wait in line for most things, this is the ship for you
