Review summary

This was my first cruise. It was very organized and the embark and dembark process was clean and streamlined. The ship was smaller than what I thought it would be (but tv adds ten pounds). The staff were very friendly and extremely helpful. Our cabin was spacious, the beds were comfortable and clean. Entertainment was excellent and the activities, pools, gyms, etc were amazing. The food on the Lido was a disappointment but JiJi, Cucino del Capitiano, the Sunrise/Sunset dining rooms were perfect! I will definitely cruise again however I will avoid the holiday next time. Great ship for her age!!!

Soooo relaxing and quiet... if you need a get away spot. Clean with lots of cabanas and loungers, with and without pergolas.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The ship was clean however you could see the wear and tear on this 20(+) year old ships; the out side rusted and the windows had old residue on them that distracted from the view.

Ship tip

HAVE YOUR BAGS TAGGED AND READY TO UNLOAD. At this port they take your bags on the drive into your parking lot.

Charleston process was so well ran. It took us 30 mins from room to our car. They should duplicate this system to all other ports and airports... flawless execution!!!!
