The comedians were great, the shows were amazing, the movies were super.....our favorite, though were the violin players - - they were incredible!!

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The bartenders, with very few exceptions, were not very friendly. They made both of us feel more like an interruption to their day. The rest of the staff was wonderful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The casino was awful as far as smoke goes. It was bad enough that we didn't go in to have fun there. Any time we needed to move from one side of it to the other, we went outside, walked on the ship's deck and then came back in.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The bathroom would start to stink in the afternoons. The cabin itself was starting to look tired. It was a very comfortable cabin, much roomier than I thought it would be.
