Review summary

1. Our favorite part of the cruise was the fabulous entertainment nightly. Particularly, we loved the production shows and great lounge shows. We enjoyed Velvet Vibe, Essencia Strings, Scatter Horns and Mambo Magic. The dinners at Reflections were outstanding! The hot soups were tasty and the beef was tender and done to perfection! Ken, the Maitre'D enhanced the dining experience with his Frank Sinatra songs. Matt was a great cruise director.

As stated above, we enjoyed the food in the dining room was outstanding! We sat at table 215 in Reflections and Chris, Max and Surya were exceptional. Our favorite Lido spot was the Deli.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Configuration of the Lido dining area was very crowded given the number of passengers on board. The elevators were extremely small; causing extensive wait time.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Cabin was spacious and clean. However on several nights we heard explosive noises from underneath that could not be identified by the crew.
