Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Clean, well-staffed,

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Not Applicable

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Main shows were lacking; the Holiday Show was the only one I really enjoyed as it seemed to have more energy by the cast.

Children's Programs

I was too old for these activities

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Arnold (Washington Table 302) and accompanying staff were on the ball.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The main thoroughfare from aft to bow went by the smoky casino. Since my wife has breathing problems we had to take some strange ways to get around the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

A great cabin. I would certainly book it or a similar stateroom on another cruise. Adi was a great cabin steward. We could count on him to get to our room during the morning hours.
