Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The main dining was great. Food was really good and wait staff called you by first name every time. The specialty restaurant was excellent tried many different exotic foods like shark octopus ell . It was great to try things I normally wouldnt. Buffets were hard to get a open table but food was good for a buffet

All staff were kind. Never had a issue with any. They went above and beyond to make us happy sailers. If you requested something it was to you in no time at all

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Being a first time cruiser I had nothing to compare it to but my personal opinion it seemed a little out dated compared to the ships I viewed online. Still beautiful

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very clean. Beds a little hard. Room was a decent size.

Ship tip

This is a perfect ship for first timers. Not overwhelming with size or people onboard. Everything is easy to get from 1 place to another and no overcrowding. Its a wonderful ship
