Review summary

For some reason, this ship has taken last place in my list of favorites. I think it's more the itinerary than the ship, although it does appear to need an aesthetic overhaul.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Main dining room menu was lacking. We tried Izumi and Chops which were both very good. Buffet menu barely changed and it got boring.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We had a couples massage. My husband could barely move his neck after.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Spectra's Cabaret made no sense at all. It jumped around a whole bunch and didn't seem to follow one story line or lead.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Room attendant, Percy was amazing. What a kind and generous man. Our dining room waiter, Max was also great. His assistant (cannot remember her name) was lacking. I had to wait about 20 minutes for my drink twice and then she brought me a second one before I was even half done the first. She was however very kind.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
After 7 days there I was still getting turned around and could not seem to find my way. This was my 6th cruise and my least favorite ship. It was however clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The cabin felt smaller than usual and it was obvious that it needs to be refinished. The floor in the bathroom was chipping, the shower door leaked and just needed new aesthetics in general.

Ship tip

Be prepared for cold weather.
