Review summary

Traveled with two other couples. We Had a great time exploring the ship and taking advantage of its activities. Solarium was pretty crowded since it was cooler outside this time of year. Main dining was good and was much faster than the past. Had a hard time finding a place to sit and play cards. The library was very little. Plenty to do or not do so that the days at sea were easier than we expected. Losing an hour at lunch for time changes for several days made being hungry for early dinner a little harder though.

Food and Dining

Main dining great service and food. Buffet also nice a bit hard to find seating at times. Ice cream was not self serve and closed too early.

Onboard Activities

Pool, hot tub, Northstar and Ripcord Ifly

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Spectra’s Caboret was a fail for us. Lots of talent but misdirected. Had high hopes as it was the only one we had to have reservations for. The Gift, a little hard to follow the storyline but the performers were great. We Will Rock You, was amazing.

Children's Programs

Traveled with adults.

Yes we had a private tour arranged. Unfortunately there was pretty dense fog so guess we will need to visit again someday to see more.
