Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The dining room offered a wide variety of selections, prepared and served very well. The wait to enter the dining room was 15-20 minutes, a little too long for my liking, not the servers fault. Buffet and Guy's burgers were fantastic! Highly recommended.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Pools were clean and well maintained. Staff did a great job ensuring safety of junior cruisers. Gym was always very busy, would have liked a larger gym.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Top notch entertainment, very professional. Enjoyed that dancers posed for pictures with the audience after the performances. Nice touch that my kids really liked.

Children's Programs

Didn't use.

Ship Quality

Older ship, well maintained and clean on all decks.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Cabin was very clean and comfortable. Would have liked a little more space and perhaps a couch. Cabin was excellent, just a little tight.

Ship tip

Get to the showroom and the comedy club early for good seats. Waterproof cell phone holders did a great job as lanyards with cruise cards.
