Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The servers were very good and attentive. We ate in the any time dining room each evening. The food was okay but only lukewarm. Many dishes were tasteless, no seasoning.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Only 1 swimming pool so it was crowded. The Serenity adult area was nice but only had hot tubs.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Austin the cruise director was hugely entertaining. We loved him!

every ship with every line I've been up, you'll have to walk up a gangway. I always check my bags with the porters, less hassle

Appreciate your feedback. This is one of the oldest and smallest ships in the fleet. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations.
