Review summary

Relaxing way to get out of daily grind and leave worry behind

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Better organized than our August cruise on Vista. We were prepared with all documentation in hand and zipped right through.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Dining room breakfast service was slow but otherwise food was standard quality. Wife enjoyed her well made Tiramisu martinis. My preferred spirit is Jameson Irish or Drambuie, but only the lobby bar had them on hand.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Hot tub was lukewarm

Entertainment

5 out of 5

String trio in lobby and solo guitarist were very enjoyable. Did not see any theater or deck shows

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Constant cleaning by crew

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

We were in a balcony cabin on deck 7 aft. It felt smaller than cabins on other cruises and there was quite a bit of wind noise when the ship was moving and an almost constant sound of water running through pipes in the walls. We will not book an aft cabin again.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas Did not visit port

Only used parking garage
