Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining room server Elena was wonderful. Buffet was clean an even though Zibolsky read reviews about long lines I never had a problem. Guy’s Burgers was good and loved the deli!

Vista Lobby and Bar

5 out of 5

What a fun area! In the evening it is where the action is. During the day a great place to hang out with friends and meet new friends. The bartenders there are fantastic! The cruise director Matt is a riot. He was dancing on the bar with his staff at the White Night and Mardi Gras celebrations.

Entertainment

The duo Steady Rush was awesome. We also enjoyed the 3 string players. Only saw one production show a Playlist and it was very good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward Gusti was amazing. He had our room cleaned and made the most fantastic towel animals. Elena and staff in the dining room were top notch. The bartenders in the lobby were so friendly and fun.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is just amazing! It is so big yet easy to maneuver. There were crew members cleaning constantly!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had a porthole stateroom on deck one. It was quite large and very comfortable. True it was a bit rough when we hit a wave but we like the feeling of being on a ship so it did not bother us. My only complaint is that the walls seem kind of thin. Our neighbors were pretty noisy and we could hear them loud and clear.

Ship tip

Stay away from the casino are if you do not like smoke! It stinks badly!

Disembarkation

Wow...we were off in a jiffy! We were supposed to meet in the lounge at 8:30 to get off the ship. We went a little early and immediately left the ship.
