Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Specialty restaurants provided good food and we bought the wine with each course in the steak house. Good value and great wine. Buffet was good, not great. We breakfasted in the dining room which was very good. Service overall was attentive. Victor the Sr. Maitre d was interactive and made the dining experience better. Our day one lunch at the deli was very slow and sandwiches were skimpy and bread clearly stale.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Comedy club, piano bar, sports bar and shows were good experiences and enjoyable. Strongly suggest towels available at the adult only pool rather than just at the main pool.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Excellent show.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our room steward, Ketuk, was exceptional. Victor the maiter d was also very attentive.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Well thought out and many activities were close by each other. I do think the adult only pool area should have been cleaned more often, at times it was unkept and lots of plates and cups left for long periods of time.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very clean room. Bed was very comfortable.

Ship tip

Dine, where possible in the restaurant. Breakfast and dinners were much better and enjoyable.

Ports of call
