What to know before you book

Cabin tips

Balcony cabins overlooking the World Promenade are unique but can be noisy from the activity below. If quiet matters to you, choose an outward-facing balcony on a higher deck instead.

Dining

The ship offers around 13 restaurants and 23 bars. Chef's Garden Kitchen and La Pescaderia are the must-try specialty venues. HOLA! Tacos and Cantina is an affordable all-you-can-eat option.

Entertainment

The Venom Drop slide is the headliner, but the Luna Park Arena pulls double duty as a family game zone and late-night party venue with DJ sets and glow parties.
