Nice new ship (ideal size), somewhat gaudy decor, surprisingly good food with more choices than our last cruise on the RCL Voyager, only the deserts were mostly bland and not very tasty, friendly staff, generally very good service, too many tacky sales events on board: gold by the inch, art auction, watches, etc., extras generally more expensive than on other ships (soda card, supper club, etc.).

Many excursions are overprices and do not provide good value (kids pay FULL price on most tours), big negative: cruise line has started adding gratuities automatically to the sail and sign card - not a good idea (also disliked by the staff in question), all in all i give 4 out of 6 stars. (1=almost on a freighter to 6=top luxury class).
