Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
As a Diamond we pretty much know the main dining room menu by memory, we know in advance which days we’re skipping and plan out speciality dining options around that. The buffet does need improvement but I’m ok with a night of a sandwich and fruit

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
The gym classes were lacking, I get a class pass every cruise and enjoy getting up an exercising to start my day. Each ship gym has its own “vibe” depends on the trainer. After the third day I just did my own thing an skipped the classes, the schedule of classes is the same on every ship but the trainers make it or break it.... this time it was broken 🙁

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Enjoyed the smoke free annex casino, comedians, and Lido music during the day, didn’t attend any shows they all kinda seem to be the same

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
As usual the cabin steward is the star, their work load is incredible but they also have a hello, address you by name and are in and out of your room like a little ninja, Ferry was great and I’m always happy to leave extra token of appreciation for them... they deserve it

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Did bring to a supervisors attention ever hand sanitizer station I tried anyplace on the ship was empty.. many of us use it even after washing our hands with soap and water. We’re feeling better about COVID that’s why we’re cruising again but we still want to be able to do this little extra, for some of us it habit you see a hand sanitizer you use it Otherwise the ship was clean and well maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had a balcony cabin, bed was comfortable, room is perfectly adequate and cabin steward did a nice job

Ship tip

Try to go with the flow, don’t complain about crowded elevators if you can take the stairs up or down one flight. Sometimes you’ll have to wait your turn, you’ve got all week, it’s a nice ship just the right size.
