Review summary

like a ship of 2,000 people or less. Everyone seems more friendly than a 4,000 or 6,000 person ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Maybe because we are diamond members, it took less than 10mins. Other lines moved fast also. They relly got their act together to keep the lines moving.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We ate at Chops once and it was wonderful. Great 9oz filet, shrimp cocktail and sumptuous desserts. Dining room was excellent. We were a table of 10. Waiter and assistant were over the top. Only did the Windjammer twice as dining in the dining room was less crowded and more quiet.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

did not use pool , rock climbing or fitness centers but I am sure they were all excellent.

Entertainment

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All were professional, courteous.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship is getting a little old but I understand that it is going into dry dock to refurbish some things that need attention. At least they are paying attention to details. After having about 2,000 people cruising week after week for a few years, areas would need a ight makeover.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was good. wish we could have had room for a sofa instead of a chair. We loved the location of room to the elevator and stairs and already booked a room on the same floor in the same vicinity for next year.

Ship tip

We bring a highlighter and every night when the next days ship's compass comes, we would highlight what we wanted to do for the next day. It helps you focus on your events planned more quickly. You do have to make priorities as there is much going on at the same time in different areas of the ship.
