Review summary

TV experience really bad. Old TV shows repeating same episode throughout the day. Only a few choices most boring. They could do a much better job providing DVD programming that changes daily. More choices of channels and programs too. Far too much pushing of sales on-board such as jewelry and fine art.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Well organized and everything went smoothly

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Excellent selection in the buffet. Something for everyone. One issue is choosing a table. So many people use the buffet that at times you need to find a table first as a couple and then one goes for food while the other holds the table. You end up one eating first and then the second so your food doesn’t get cold. Dining rooms offered reservations but not the same selection as the buffet.

La Patisserie

2 out of 5

Supposed to be a coffee and snack area. No snacks to be seen

Too cold to use outdoor pools.

Sanctuary

Insulting to charge 40.00 USD per person to allow you to sit on deck chairs on the top of the ship and have your own fruit and juice bar.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Outstanding shows. First class.
