Review summary

Perhaps my cruise would have been better had I not caught a cold at the beginning. The ship did eventually cool down.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Wheelchair assistance was very good. Different from the Maryland cruise port. They had wheelchairs assistance available at the door for those in need of it.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The morning and lunch buffet had many good offerings. Just crowded. The main dining room had great service, the menu not so much. It seems that breakfast buffet on cruise ships are great regardless of the ship.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Caught a cold at the beginning of the cruise. Ship was very hot the first couple of days.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone works so very hard to aide in your enjoying your cruise. Perhaps over worked. Nevertheless a great job by all.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Beautiful ship all around. Very well maintained. Very clean at all times.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

My cabin was a solo cabin with a virtual balcony. It was great help to keep you from feeling closed in or trapped. Will select cabin 7230 again.

Ship tip

Arrive early, this ship holds several thousand people.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

There were not enough staff and wheelchairs for all the people needing assistance. I overheard a staff member talking to his supervisor that there were only 8 wheelchairs and 67 people waiting for them. I was lucky, my number was 11.

I am glad you had a great time. The ship can be a little cool at times. I always try to bring a light jacket or sweater when I go on a cruise.
