Review summary

It was nice to be waited on. We prefer more active vacations, but can see the attraction of cruises.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We did the recommended VeriFLY process from home, so we sailed through the embarkation.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The dining room was lovely, with attentive, friendly staff and outstanding food. The buffet in the Lido was more standard fare, but the fresh salads and desserts made lunch pleasant.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We did not enjoy the pressure to shop. The Serenity area was nice for a less-crowded area to access the pools.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the performances in the Normandy theater. Those kids are multi-talented!

Children's Programs

No kids

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward, Esperanza, was delightful. She was accommodating to our schedule and always left out room spotless, with a fun surprise towel animal. Our waiters in the dining room were uniformly excellent. Cello, Irhan, Alexander, and others we forgot to record made us feel appreciated and pampered.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We explored many of the public areas, and all were clean and safe.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
