We enjoyed the ship and especially enjoyed our interactions with the crew. They were great. Would take another cruise, but probably different ports of call. I thought I was receiving Skymiles for this, but haven't seen anything yet.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Faster than I anticipated. It was simply a wait at times and I'm not good at waiting on line.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Was pleasantly surprised with the good food at breakfast and dinner. Only ate at the buffet twice. It was OK, but it was buffet (a French word for "bad food.") I don't do buffets because they are always bland, overcooked, etc. The Steak House was excellent and a great bargain.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
This was a great wait staff and the food was very good. The staff made it all the better, for sure. We had a severe food allergy to deal with and they were more than accommodating. BUT, the hot tubs were more like tepid tubs. Didn't really bother me, though.
Entertainment
1 out of 5
It is in the middle of the ship, it allows smoking. At times it was difficult to be in adjoining rooms to the casino because the smoke/smell poured out. It was terribly ventilated. If I could, I would only go on cruises without any smoking. We could avoid it, but the Ocean Plaza was next door and sometimes the experience there was negatively affected by the smell of the casino. If I could give it NO STARS I would.
Children's Programs
4 out of 5
Liked the space and the shows were very good.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
What a great, engaging staff. Fun, too. Fun, helpful but not pushy.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Was impressed with the cleaning crew, although they missed a couple of things in our room in the change over on Sunday. Once again, the casino location is a serious problem for me. The reason there are 4 stars here is because of the crew -- casino location is a definite no stars.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
It was just fine. Not excellent by some standards, but I liked it and would book it again.
Ship tip
Walk -- lots -- it is good for you and there is plenty of space to do so.
