Review summary

Recently refurbished, the ship was in good condition. All areas were well maintained and generally very clean. It has been a while since my last cruise, but I thought there were more entertainment options in the past. We did attend two shows, but had to stand both times as seating was full. This would be our fault as we did not bring watches with us, and the only clocks we saw were near the elevators or on TV. If we were having fun on some other part of the ship, it was easy to forget about the time. We enjoyed the over 21 sun deck. There were adult-only hot tubs, but we encountered guests who brought their children in anyway. Dining options were ok. With a few exceptions, the food was typical banquet fare. Our stateroom was roomy and well-attended to. The stateroom staff was excellent.

As mentioned, the stateroom staff was excellent. They introduced themselves immediately, were very friendly, and were aware of when we were out so they could attend to the room. We traveled with other family members, and the staff was helpful if we were looking for them as well. The dining room staff was a little less eager to please. Throughout the cruise, there were many photographers and great opportunities to get our picture taken. We did purchase some of them as they captured some great shots. However, after the second night, I began to feel badgered by photographers and waiters from the bar.
