Review summary

A nice relaxing vacation. Stress free and full of fun.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Mega Coast Guard inspection set the process backwards by about hour. Too many people in one place at one time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Nothing special nothing hideous. It’s disappointing the cutbacks to options at omelet station. Still angry about changes to Mongolian lunch menu: no longer get to choose ingredients.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The ship was decorated for holidays and activities followed path. Cruisers committed to theme and brought their holiday attire. Lawrence was a fun cruise director.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The big shows were disappointing. The bands and musicians at various venues were great, very talented.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Every crew member we encountered was happy, friendly and helpful with exception to the ladies working the Ref Frog Pub on deck 5. Don’t know if they hated their jobs, white peoples or all people. It took 2 visits to have my fill of their bad attitudes.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

She is ready for her dry dock.
