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

5 out of 5

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

5 out of 5

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.
