Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was very good, not five star but very good. The chow hall was accommodating to my request for marinara sauce every night and changing our choice of bread. I eat a vegan diet and they worked with me every night to make sure I was happy. The chef would also prepare a special dish of I wasn’t happy with the following night’s menu. Sea Day brunch is the best!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

This ship was SO fun and it was so easy to navigate the ship. Cruise Director Chris was probably the best CD I’ve had in 4 cruises.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Playlist production got better each night. The Diva and Epic Rock shows were shockingly very good in production value.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

It’s an old ship...outside of some dated decor the ship is in good shape.

Cabin / Stateroom

Had it to myself, was plenty for me.

Ship tip

The ship is what you make of it, easy to navigate, and much better to get familiar with the crew. Sushi is available made to order outside of the casino...don’t miss it. If you want to relax and have fun-she’s an awesome ship. If you like all the extras of a large ship-don’t choose this ship.
