Review summary

We were back to back and on this first leg had our Air Pods stolen. Then my husband fell down the stairs. The crew were so fast to respond and the ships doctor and nurse came immediately and he was treated in the infirmary. They changed his dressing every other day or every day depending on the doctors orders. I was very impressed. Everyone was so pleasant and made us feel comfortable with the entire process.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

The ship was late getting into port due to fog. Even after arriving 2 hours later than originally scheduled we still had to stand outside in the hot sun with our luggage.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Windjammer food was not as good and selections not as good as Freedom or Serenade.

We enjoy doing some quiet activities and meeting new people. Lots of opportunity for everyone to get to meet new friends!

The Diamond Lounge concierge Montserrat was excellent and Aaron was so friendly. He really is a great personable person.

The cabin stewards work so hard to keep everything clean and tidy.

Cabin / Stateroom

Great room, perfect size. Lots of storage areas. Love the balcony and able to open the sliders!

Ship tip

Keep a close eye on your valuables. We had a pair of Air Pods stolen (should have kept a closer eye on them).
