Review summary

This was my partner's first cruise. It was enjoyable, relaxing, and much needed. The food was wonderful, and staff was fabulous. Cam did a great job entertaining. My biggest complaint, which made going to the room unsatisfying, was the marijuana our neighbors smoked daily, which smelled our room every afternoon and night. That made us uncomfortable.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The dining experience was wonderful, and the staff is what made the experience great. They were wonderful, always had a smile on their face, and made dinner a joy.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The pool was nice, but overly crowded. With a ship of 2700 individuals, a second pool is needed. I did enjoy the fitness center, as I visited it 3 times on the cruise. I would rather the TVs be taken off of the treadmills, as I would rather enjoy the wonderful view.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The shows were enjoyable. Cam did a great job leading activities. One complaint I have is the comedians. I love a good comedy show, and I was excited to watch them on the cruise. The comedians repeated shows, and I feel they need to have a different act each night.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The service was wonderful from all of the staff. Our room steward always greeted us with a smile and was very accommodating. Waiters were fabulous and made dinner enjoyable.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The staff worked hard, and that was obvious. The only complaint is the public bathrooms were messy more times than not.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The cabin was nice, exactly what I expected. My only complaint is our neighbors were smoking pot most of the trip. Unfortunately, the smell leaked into our room. We entered our room every afternoon and night with the stench of marijuana. That made things very uncomfortable for me.
