Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Didn't hit the dining room, only buffet and specialty restaurants. Good prices on the extra cost options. Decent variety at buffet; many times included what was on the dining room menu.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Nope - vaca to relax, read, get the sun. pools small for the ship size.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Best was Sean Larkin; saw him on another ship line and was thrilled to see him on this trip! He plays really well with audiences, and changes up material often. Not as impressed with the stage shows.

Children's Programs

No kids aboard

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Shout out to Faero our steward, and to Kim or bartender at Red Frog. Both made special efforts to engage us, check in on our needs, thank us, know our names.

Cabin / Stateroom

First time doing an inside cabin, so pleasantly surprised at the amount of room, comfort of the beds. Loads of storage. Great shower - bigger than on some other ships.

Ship tip

Make yourself some landmarks to help fin your way around - easier to remember than maps.
