Embarkation

5 out of 5
Easy process

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Food was good but buffet and dining room food I feel lacked flavor or seasoning. No flavored coffee creams available either. Soft serve ice cream just did not taste good to us

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
So many activities to choose from at any point throughout the cruise

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Great shows

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Staff was great just feel like common courtesy was not used enough, most seemed cold and annoyed but that may just be their culture since there is such a diverse staff

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Very clean, room steward did an excellent job cleaning room daily. Common areas always seemed to be spotless

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Perfect for 2 people, plenty of space to move around and store items.

Ship tip

Do it and put all your anxieties away! Take yourself out your comfort zone and try something new that the ship has to offer

Glad you enjoyed your cruise. The more you cruise there you find out what to pack. My sister won't leave for port until she packs her flavored creamer.Whats good about cruising is you can pack OTC meds and personal items you may need for a week!!

Welcome to the wonderful world of cruising. Appreciate your details. All cruise lines are trying to save money, so small things like flavored creamers are not available. Glad you enjoyed your cruise.

Thanks for sharing. We usually take a baggie of our own flavored creamers. Might be hard and costly to try to please on that one. My husband, daughter and myself don’t agree on that one😄. Glad that you enjoyed yourself and welcome to cruising.
