Review summary

This was a little underwhelming as far as the ship/medical staff and unorganized and uncaring embarkation process are concerned. However the venues and ports we went to were beyond amazing.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

We were shown to the wrong level when we arrived. Asked an attendant what to do and was told "just find your own way around"!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Generally great food. Had food poisoning from a meal and feel it was the escargot. Word to the wise: Whatever you do, don't mention to any of the "gestapo" medical staff that you were not feeling well. They will isolate you from EVERYTHING, defying logic! This was a special event cruise for my wife's 60th Birthday. They did not allow me to do anything for 24 hours and my wife had to attend planned events on her own - unconscionable!!!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Great shows and fun personnel.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Very good entertiainers. However, attendance seemed somewhat uncoordinated.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Apart from the "prison wardens" in the medical unit, all the staff were beyond outstanding and they in fact made our trip that much better.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

All very well maintained, spotless.
