Review summary

Loved this ship. It had a recent renovation so is in good shape. This was the last cruise till fall - they will re position in Europe for the summer months. The Gulf was calm so you really could not even tell you were on a ship. Service in the dinning areas and cabin were great. I had my 88 yr old mother with me and everyone was very helpful and understanding. I got a great deal and will be looking to head out again soon. Thanks

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I was careful to pick an unobstructed balcony cabin on the 7th deck since it showed a large number were obstructed. Once on board - I could not see why they thought the others were obstructed - they all looked wide open. They have large balconies compared to other ships I have sailed on. Four adults and a table fit comfortably.

Ship tip

Dining Room service for breakfast and lunch was a bit slow and we quickly realized that the Windjammer buffet had the identical items - it was a lovely buffet and I am not one that usually likes that sort of thing

My sister and I took my 88yr old father on a 7 day cruise in February. He absolutely loved it.

I took my mother on a cruise and she absolutely loved it. The staff was amazing with her. She passed away last year and all of my siblings commented that she loved the cruise .

What did mom think about the cruise ? I have a older friend living with her son . He would like to try a cruise . Not sure how she would handle things . Very thoughtful to include mom. Not many people would .
