The cruise was lovely, we met a lot of nice people. Food was good, specialty dining was very good. I suggest a drink upgrade package if you enjoy top shelf beverages and wines.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food had great presentation, I have Celiac disease so my options were limited. The gluten free desert options were not very good as the texture and taste was off.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Only actives I was abke to enjoy was the evening shiws as most gamrs took place while I was on an excursion at port, so I missed the games.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Entertainment was fantastic

Children's Programs

1 out of 5
This is an odd question as they don't have any children's programs, yet allow children. I would prefer not to see any children on an Adult shop. There were a few young teens who looked bored, and a three year old that whined and cried often.

Ship tip

Purchase the upgraded drink.package if you enjoy top shelf selection of drinks. Don't overpack, as they have free onboard laundry or you can pay for laudry service at an affordable price for tge rntire sail, they will put youshirts and pants on hangers and press.

Valencia, Spain

2 out of 5
Did not care for Valencia at all, ship docked too far from sites to see, very desolate. It us a very confused city as far as design, you have a futuristic area, tgen an 1960s beat up town. The old town was not much to see, very disappointed. Tge shuttle from.ship dropped us off at a bus depo, no signs on where tnings ar, but lots of traffic. Would not return to Valencia.
