Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffets were good but not great. Dinners were great but not excellent. Sushi bar was OK but usually packed. A little small for that many people.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Comedians were very funny. The shows were well thought out and the number of scene changes was impressive but the performers were not the best caliber. Some were great and yet others needed refinement. Missed some activities due to overeating.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Everyone was very friendly, especially the cabin boys and of course, Noonan. Snizhana (sic) was our waitress at dinner and she was extremely nice and personable. She deserves a raise, whatever you are paying her.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Ship was clean and the staff kept busy cleaning and repainting. Layout was fine but maps were hard to read for people needing glasses.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Waited too long and got a balcony suite at the back of ship. This was nice and quiet, which we prefer. Room and bathroom a little small but enjoyed the large bed. Didn't mind the walk to the front of ship except when we ran into a bulkhead.
