Review summary

Room was better than expected, food and service was as expected, shows were great, chat did not work most of the time so we had a hard time communicating with others in the group. Put a real damper on the cruise. You would have at least expected a credit for the chat fees.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was average. Drink prices were as expected (restaurant prices). Premium wine package not worth it. Nice bottles were not available and buying by the glass would have been better.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Comedians were good as were the big shows at Encore. Music entertainment around the ship was good except "Wave Dave"

4 out of 5
