Review summary

We enjoyed this trip because we just relaxed and did nothing special, no excursions, no worries.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Very quick to the ship - 10 minutes from entering the building to getting to the ship

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

American table was new to us but we had the greatest wait staff - Cesar and crew were great! Food was good and plentiful.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The stage shows were ok - lights were shown into the audience and was very difficult to watch the show since the lights were in our eyes. We ended up going to the upper balcony that was better.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was helpful and courteous. Armand was a great room steward and Caesar was a great waiter. Couldn’t ask for any better.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The room was rather standard but seemed a bit crowded because of the extra beds which we did not use.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5

We waited to be called but as they use the elevators for the self assist, we will use self assist next time.

There was a pull down bed above the headboard and the opposite wall. Presumably to fit 2 more people in the room. There was also a trundle bed under our bed.
