Review summary

The trip was cold the first few days. Mostly feel bad for the 600 plus that didn't make the boat. The 3rd thru 6th day were much warmer, just a little windy and rocky on the water.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Great at the Alchemy Lounge ! Lacking service on the Adult only Deck. Food Staff was above and beyond. Kudo's to Edgar in the Dining room.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Ship is kind of antiquated with only one real pool that is small. With a total of 2 hot tubs on the main deck that were full of kids. Spent most of our time on adult deck where there were 2 hot tubs.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Piano bar was great spent most of our evenings there. One of 2 comedians was absolutely horrible. Never made it to the after dinner shows as they were done after our 8:15 dinner seating.

Children's Programs

No kids on this cruise.

Service and Staff

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

It didn't matter if we were at sea or in port, there was always a crew working on the boat for cleanliness and repair.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The cabin was perfect for a view and quiet other than when we were docking at 7a.m. The props were right below our room.

Nice port, I have never been there before. Laid back and not a hustle getting away from vendors...
