Review summary

I am undecided if I would partake in cruising again. Had I known excursions were needed to enjoy the ports I could have financially planned for one in each port. That in turn gets quite costly, considering flight, cruise & excursions. 7 days 4 ports plan on $2500.00 for the week each person.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Buffets had plenty of choices for every dietary desires the staff were always helpful and pleasant. Specialties were very good, although I didn't get a chance to try the sandwich spot, Mexican food, sushi or Seafood Spot Aft Deck near adult pool. All looked delightful when watching others indulge. Sorry I missed them! Our Evening dining was perfectly delightful, the staff was awesome as well. I've tried foods I had never eaten, Braised Oxen tongue appetizer, Frogs legs, and Mango Cream soup... I would definitely eat these selections again!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

There was plenty to do all around the ship. I used the walking deck, I relaxed beside the pool, I went to the movies. With different company I would have did more.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Musicians were so very talented, the comedy shows were a bit short but great!

Children's Programs

I had no children with me, I didn't pay mind to those venues

All wonderful and friendly

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

I was disappointed with the lack of functioning Soap dispensers in several of the ladies restrooms. That should always be plentiful and available!! Hand sanitizing stations were available in sight outside the restrooms.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Always clean and made up perfectly. I did notice the shower curtain was beginning to mold at the bottom of the hem ( pinkish) I did not tell anyone on board. This is something housekeeping should keep in mind for the future.
