Entertainment

Shows were like being on Broadway. Comedian was fantastic. Tribute bands were great.

Solarium

5 out of 5

A nice place to relax, and get away from the younger crowd. Spent much of our time there.

Children's Programs

4 out of 5

Did not have children on board, but it certainly seemed to have a lot of activities available.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Joseph Veri and Nayeli were the best we could have hoped for for the best dining experience ever. Second to none. Treated us like royalty, but very congenial and outgoing. Cant say enough about these two. Erosco(sp) to care of our cabin and kept the hallways clean, constantly using disinfectant on the railings and door knobs etc.. Very pleased with the cleanliness. Always required or reminded to wash our hands.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Awesome ship design. In many areas it felt as if you were in a luxury hotel instead of aboard a ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very adequate size, comfortable. Shower was nicer than we expected.
