First, I am not sure where some of the less than stellar reviews of the ship come from. Anyone who criticizes the service or cleanliness or dining of the ship is simply misguided. TheThe staff was excellent, the service was superior, and the cleanly Ness and presentation of the ship was second to none. It was really telling in the Bahamas when Disney, Aida, Carnival and Royal Caribbean were all in port. My wife and I got so many people asking us about our shift. Literally hundreds of people from Aida were even looking over be at the ship watching how to good the staff was with fun music pool towels and water as we return. None of the other ships have anything close.
Second, the speciality dining particulatly Modeebi and Ocean blue are not to be missed. All the food was great however those two places in particular are amazing. The Cirque show and dinner were worth the price. The ultimate beverage package was really good and has everything from moxed drinks to decent scotch. And if you are a scotch or bourbon drinker the upchaege for higher end is only pour difference, which is like $2-$5 for most upgrades.
Third, on the Eastern Caribbean the ports were wonderful.
Very clean and ample storage...large balcony was really nice
