Review summary

The entire cruise experience was delightful - - from check-in, the cruise and final destination. We would like to see the ship go out further in the ocean, as opposed to circling around. That did cause some stomach problems.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Dining was more than we could expect, especially the quality of food served. Thank you.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We'd like to see more inter-active activities for the pre-teens (10 - 12). My son, was embarrassed to join the dancing; there were too many folks playing ping-pong. We'd like to see rock-climbing and perhaps board games.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5
Safety was our primary concern when initially booking and boarding the ship. Once on the cruise - - our worries were overcome by the "kindness & welcoming" of the cruise staff. Thank you.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
You're staff has obviously been selectively hand-picked. Thank you. They upheld the epitomy of being professional, courteous and respectful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Overall, PERFECT 10. No hygiene problems to note.

Cabin / Stateroom

This was a complete surprise - - much better than ever expected.
