Review summary

Considering it was a smaller ship, it was ok. However, I think I prefer cruising on a midsize ship from now on. And i will say no to having a spa treatment in the future!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Went pretty smoothly...

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Main dinning room was nice. Selections were fairly good. Food was good, but service was not always very good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pool was cold, & crowded. People would throw thier stuff on the chairs & you'd never see some ever being used!

Spa Carnival

1 out of 5

I had a pedicure...the gal was rough & grated my on my heel until it was bleeding! After 3 days, it is still sore & hurts to walk on it. She sold me an antifungal spray, saying she couldn't let me leave because I had a fungus under my toe nail. After getting home, I researched the spray & it is no more than a dry skin spray. A $112 pedi was no more than a $20 pedi! A very painful & expensive lesson!

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Shows & entertainers were very good. Music & DJs were also good.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

We seldom saw our room steward. But room was cleaned daily. Waiters were ok, but not real consistent on keeping water glasses filled or in clearing plates away after we were done. Cruise director, Mike, was great!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship was clean & maintained. Shops did not carry a very good variety.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Bed was comfortable. Cabin was pretty good size for a small Ship.
