Employees great, food luc warm, not good for fish dishes.

Plaza Bar

5 out of 5

Bar tenders pleasant good drinks. Wait staff very good and pleasantly remembering names and drink orders. Music fantastic. Loved Mandy, Marion, Matt, Tom and Briant in the Sauce factor. We danced all night then closed at the Havana bar. Sauce factor was great addition to the Rock show. Great mix of music, extremely talented musicians, love the additional singers and the addition of horns on alternate nights. Just loved the entertainment. Can’t say enough good things about this band. I would do the cruise again just to see these guys.

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Could not even enjoy due to cigarette smoke. Need better HVAC system to help remove smoke. I could not even enjoy music at Atrium bar on last couple days because it smell peeked all the way there

Children's Programs

All the musical entertainment was excellent. Piano bar. Red Frog. Atrium the violin were amazi if. The horns were perfect in all additions they were added. They truly are a talented group of individuals

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Hilligart was a fantastic room Stewart. She took great care of us and was always wearing a smile. She left wonderful towel animals and was quick to respond to any request we had. Waiters were pleasant, as were all ship personnel. Only complaint walk ways were sometimes too small for personnel trying to move big tray or carts when passengers were holding food or hot drinks.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Hallways in eating area too small for big crowds

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Beds comfortable room clean loved two showers. Little noisy with loud thumps but I guess were were on lower level close to engine room

Ship tip

Ship seemed to be very rocky on way to islands but much smoother on the way back. Never had that except on very small ships. Big negative.
