Review summary

One of the best cruises I've been on, on an older ship. I had been wanting to go on the pink ship for forever, when I heard it was leaving I knew I was running out of time. Service was exceptional. So happy I got to experience this ship before it left my backyard

Embarkation

5 out of 5

FTTF worked perfect. Only took about 15 minutes top to get onboard and find our cabin.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The dining room was okay, the buffet was good. The steakhouse was wonderful our best meals onboard. One of the best birthday dinners I've ever had.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Sail Away was so much fun, my sister danced and danced. The 80's party was also alot of fun.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The stage shows were not that good to me, but the performers and musicians around the ship were great.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Absolutely no complaints with any of the staff. Everyone was wonderful, helpful and always smiling. This really was one of my best cruises.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship was showing her age (but she was on her way to dry dock), but she was well maintained and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Beautiful spa balcony cabin. Roomy, nice frig, lots of closet space and very nice spa decor.

Ship tip

Be prepared for all the pink. The steakhouse is tucked away, so get someone to help you find it so you'll not walking around in circles. If you haven't tried movies on the Lido, try it.
