Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Ate breakfast and dinner in the main dining rooms. Did free style. Enjoyed sitting with different folks at the table. Loved Guy Fieri's joint. We ate at the BBQ restaurant the first day, but the food was a bit luke warm. At lunch almost every day, they make a German Chocolate cake in the buffet that is to die for. Went to Pasta Bella at lunch one day (free) and it was pretty good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Didn't do too many activities. Enjoyed putt putt with the hubby. Although it was too windy one day. Visited the fitness center twice and was not crowded.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Enjoyed both big productions. Comedy clubs were good. The late ones were too nasty for me. Cruise Director MarQ gave great trivia sessions at night. He changes outfits to fit the songs. I heard he did a great job at the Veterans meeting.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff was friendly and attentive.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was clean, looks like all their other ships. Loved the lobby with the huge open ceiling.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Room squeaked at night if we had rough seas. On the last night, I could hear the people laughing next door til 2 am. Also, it was about 4 doors down from an opening to the lobby and you could hear music playing til 11:30 pm.

Ship tip

Buy the 12 pack of water for $5 before you get on. They will deliver to your room.

Appreciate your feedback. Thanks for sharing about the noise in your cabin from the Atrium. Good to know NOT to book one in that area. Glad you mostly enjoyed your cruise.
