Review summary

We enjoyed our cruise. The 25-hour days were a plus as we gained hours crossing east to west. Sea days were good to relax and catch up from busy touring days.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
A little crowded at the airport - had to wait for the bus but all good once aboard.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Foor was good. Specialty dining - especially Chef's table was great.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Shows were good. Musicians were excellent. 15 days let us get to know them a bit more personally. Lido dining was good. Hamburgers, Pizza, Ice Cream was good and was a plus.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
As said above - the entertainment was good. Musicians in the various areas were enjoyable and excellent singers / musicians. Ever with 15 days we didn't get to every option for entertainment.

Service and Staff

Friendly, responsive and entertaining.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was well maintained, clean, and uncrowded.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The balcony was great for sea days though sometimes too sunny to enjoy. Some A/C issues initially but resolved by the staff. Lots of storage / hanging space. Comfortable enough for 15 days.

Ship tip

Enjoy the Atrium bar! The bar staff was exceptional. Even better that the Alchemy which is normally our favorite.

Ports of call
