Review summary

Overall it was a nice simple cruise but not as elaborate as they use to be. Miss the chocolate night and other specialities. Shows had to be canceled due to the waves.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Good, seemed organized

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food didn’t seem to be as elaborate in the dining room as it use to be. Menu repeated and not as many options.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Would like more variety of things to do on sea days.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Didn’t seem to have as many Broadway type shows. The volume of the shows seemed to be louder than necessary, to the point of distorting the sound.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Bonnie our stateroom attendant was great, also Mohan his floor supervisor. Seemed like they were short staffed.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The overall ship seemed to be clean. Not as fancy as the older ships.

Accessible excursion was not what we thought it would be. Only a couple of picture opportunities, and one stop to shop on French side only. Would let you off on Dutch side to shop but you had to find your way back to the shop.

Cruising is not as fancy as it used to be. I have not seen the chocolate buffet in YEARS!! Cruising is alot more casual now.
