Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
The Windjammer food so so, minor variations from day to day. The dining rm on day 1 informed menu change day 2, 2 additional items substituted on menu. What was available was very good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
No issues with pools and hot tubs

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Entertainment was good, live vocals all around ship

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Bar staff fun especially at Solarium. Service at the bars were so, due to not enough staff. Waiters in dining Rm were very good. Remember they are the messengers from the chef, don't blame then for menu issues

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
This is our 11th time on this ship. Time for an upgrade.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Rm was just OK, larger balcony. The head had bad odors(even when not in use). Again ship need updating

Ship tip

Good 1st time ship. If you are used to newer ship ull be disappointed
