I was not impressed overall with this cruise. We are going to try other cruise lines to see if they are different. The overall experience left a bad taste in my mouth...
Embarkation
2 out of 5
The ship was late, so everything got thrown back for hours. We ended up beginning the embarkation after 4pm.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
The service was excellent and the dining room food was good, but the other venues were not that good or exciting.
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
Boring and, at times, offensive. We did some pedicures, my wife did a manicure and a massage and they spent the whole time trying to sell us stuff. It did not make the experience comfortable. At least ask us if we're interested first, then leave us alone when we say we are not.
Entertainment
2 out of 5
I did not see the stage shows, but there was a singer who was awful in the Atrium lounge. I paid $150 for the Chef's Table experience and he was playing outside in the Atrium. We had to turn up the music in the room to drown out this guy....terrible!
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
They were the best part of the cruise, Lady and Nathan, who served us in the dining room were great...Nelson, out room steward, didn't miss a beat and met out every need.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
The ship was overhauled, which is what caused all the delays, etc. I was not impressed
Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip
Plan your own activities...every activity they have seemed to be designed to sell you something. If it wasn't, it was a boring game show or offensive. (The married couples thing with Kevin was horrid. Why ANYONE would submit their wife to that for a bottle of champagne is beyond me!)
We avoided the excursions offered, which were expensive and not really of any interest. Ended up taking a taxi tour for half the price of any of them and seeing the city in a way only a native could do. Really enjoyed it.
