Review summary

We really enjoy cruises and will do many more. Most of the food was great. The options are good and the service staff are fantastic. Enjoy meeting people from different areas.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was very smooth & faster than other cruises. We did everything we could online before the cruise to make things faster & easier.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
We only went to the evening Dining room. The options were fine, but the side of vegetables were very, very small. I prefer more vegetables. The buffets need more vegetable options. There were lots of fruit, but little vegetables.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We went to the shows in the Victoriana Lounge & participated in some of the trivia games. Watched movies on the outdoor dine-in. Everything we did was great & fun.

Entertainment

Service and Staff

Our room steward was Jezer. He was fantastic! Our waiters were Aleksandar, Wilson & Lala. They were professional, funny, accommodating & personal.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was very clean & well-maintained!

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
The room was very uncomfortably warm. The wife had a sore throat & headache throughout the cruise because of the warmth. We had the thermostat set on the coldest, but it never was cool in the room. We asked for a fan & was told they were only for people with medical problems. The converted twin bed was very uncomfortable. Other than that, the cabin was clean. It was a nice size.

Ship tip

Be sure to purchase amenities before you go on the cruise. The cost is better than after you board. (wi-fi, etc)
