Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Plentiful. Great buffet. But some food selection at the sunrise was hit and miss.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Comedian Manny was hilarious, witty, and sharp. I would see him over and over again and the material is always different especially when engaging with the audience.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Lester served us in the sunrise room always with a smile and friendly demeanor. Very accommodating and helpful. And the cruise Director is outstanding! He is full of energy and gets the guests in a happy and celebratory mood.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Clean and always maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Got the interior basic room and it was adequate. Everyday I’d come home to a clean cabin.

Ship tip

Bring your own conditioner and body gel and lotion. Unlike hotels, they do not provide that. If you want professional photos of the family this is the place to get them. No need to pay for photographer. Just pay for the prints. It’s also cheaper if you buy copies of the same prints if you are taking group photos.
