Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Good but far from perfect. Main dining rooms and buffets: no fresh berries - we should have strawberry, blue berry, red raspberry and black berry, All the pizzas you could eat but no wings. Seafood dinner was the best but only one night. Lack of fresh tropical fruits like mango, guava, papaya but it did have pineapples. Considering the destinations were tropical islands, we should have more varieties of tropical fruits. Escargots were delicious but they were on the manual only the first couple of days then they disappeared.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
There were a lot of different activities but we had too many guests therefore not able to enjoy as much as wanted.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Lousy shows were too long, e.g. We will rock you (almost two hours) although the finally was nice. Great shows were too short, e.g. The Rookie cover band was great but it lasted less than one hour - I understand the singer Aaron Mackenzie must be tired, wish they had a second singer to take turn singing.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I would like to point out that the outdoor movie theatre was in the wrong location - pool side. Never could get a seat either.

Cabin / Stateroom

The housekeeper Roset was great!

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
Wonderful island - need to stay for two days instead of one.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Easy and no pain. Waiting was to be expected because of the number of guests in a huge ship.
