Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Service was great. Our waiters (Jesus and Adrienne) at table 544 in the washingtin were famtastic. Also, Shujat was very pleasant, friendly, and helpful. We had signed up for anytime in the Lincoln but because of overbooking we got bumped to the late time 8:15 in the washington. The food and atmosphere was great, but the late time made our sleep a little uncomfortable.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

We didnt see much we wanted to do. we dont drink alcohol or gamble so about all we could do was eat. I liked the idea of a meet and greet, but i think it would have been good to come up with more of these groupings. For instance, we are Christians, so a Christian meet and greet would have been fun. We also liked the walking track.

Entertainment

Didnt attend any.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone everywhere was very pleasant and helpful.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

We like to sit on the deck and read, but there were no sit-up chairs anywhere except on the smoking deck, so that was disappointing. Also we like to sit and watch the sun go down but all the lounges on the top decks were stacks and tired down at least an hour before sundown, so we had nowhere to sit. Ship was clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Happy with cabin. Thanks for the water bottles. I liked to see the ocean on the tv, but it would have also been great to have a channel that showed where we were.
