Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
I ordered ahead to have champagne in our cabin for departure. It was there but not in an ice bucket and no champagne or wine glasses. Since there was no refrigerator you would think they would know it should be served chilled. Good was better than expected. Ate in main dining room and pool deck mostly. Great burger bar.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Pool is tiny as are the hot tubs. Never got wet. Walking the track was about all. It also is small but wandering about the boat gets some extra steps in. Rather strange layout so you have to go around rather than through sections to get to other places.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
I was disappointed with the Divas show and almost skipped the last night finale which turned out to be a much better presentation.
Dynasty Main Lounge
4 out of 5
Large enough to provide ample comfortable seating. Needed more headliner acts. One production the final night was great. The rest just ok.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
More impersonal than others we have experienced in other cruise lines.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
As small as it is it seemed hard to get around. Cleanliness was not a problem however again did not see the emphasis on hand washing that we have experienced in other cruises.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Small. No balconies available. In fact there are only a few and they are the suites. Also no sofa, and no refrigerator. Bed was comfortable. A small side chair and vanity stool was the only extra seating.
Ship tip
Don't expect much and you may be pleasantly surprised too. It emphasizes fun and you can find that.
Not much to see in the port area but we did a defeat your which was a bit of an adventure and fun with a museum stop. There was just the 4 us so the 2 young women guides have us great attention and information.
