Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was hit or miss, mostly lacked seasoning. There were an array of options. Drinks were amazing and staff was exceptional. Sudiatra is an amazing server and deserves recognition!!! He was so patient, kind, happy and funny! He is a keeper.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

A nice array of options for activities! Hot Tubs could be cleaned more frequently it was murky for a few days!

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Felt like the same songs were being played, would’ve loved some more current music most music was from 20 years ago.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

THE STAFF WAS AMAZING. Mo took his job seriously and was so helpful and kind. The sweetest man on that ship. He was in charge of the smoking deck for the morning time. Gerry was also very sweet and kind he was our steward. He was genuinely concerned about my mothers health and ensure she was comfortable by bringing extra pillows, fans, sharps container and a bigger fridge for us. He was very hospitable. Sudiatra was so nice and friendly he was made for this job! He did it so well all with a smile on his face. Adris was also very nice and made inside jokes with us. I can not remember the last member of our waitstaff it started with a C, but he was also very kind. Thank you all for being so amazing!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The bathrooms were always clean when I went in which I was appreciative of. I always saw cleaning crew around, picking up glasses, wiping down surfaces. There were even people cleaning the glass by the elevators. Only thing was the the hot tub should be cleaned daily and I’m not sure if that was happening. It was very dirty and cloudy the first few days.
