Review summary

Very, very pleasantly surprised at the quality of food and bedding.

Embarkation

After reading all the reviews about slow boarding, we were p;easantly surprised to be in our stateroom in about 15 minutes. It should be noted we had a jr. suite which had some perks including expedited boarding.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Having had mediocre to disappointing food on past cruises, we were very pleasantly surprised at the yummy and well prepared food. We signed up for my time dining and ate in the lovely London restaurant. The buffet was OK. A lot of the same food as in the restaurant but of course, noisy and crowded. The daily specialty drinks were very sweet.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

My husband made use of the well-equipped gym and pool. I made use of the poolside chaises and read.

Service and Staff

The staff we interacted with were efficient and helpful. Not as friendly as indicated in other reviews.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship design was fine, functional and clean. It did have a tired look about it in some areas like the pool.
