Ship experiences

Food always good no matter where you dine. We mostly did dining rooms but we loved the buffet too.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
They had pickleball, fitness center, pools and jogging trail on top. I did the bikes in the fitness center and also walked the jogging trail. Walking that and watching the sun come up was spectacular!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Everything was very clean. It was a huge ship but the way they had it laid out with the elevators it didn't take you anytime to get where you needed to go. Worked out great.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved, loved, loved the room. Loved the Infinite Verandas. It gave you so much more room and if you didn't want the outside air just close the window. The window and they have a privacy blind which is all automatic. The room temperature, lights, blinds and window was all controlled by out phone. The room was awesome!!

Ship tip

Nothing, just enjoy!

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

King's Wharf, Bermuda

Be sure to go to the Museum of Bermuda practically right off the boat. Walk around and look at it but the best part is there is an area where other people pay to go in with the dolphins but you are allowed to go in there and watch them with the dolphins up close and then they bring the other dolphins by all of us and did tricks and explained how it works. We were right by the dolphins. It was well worth the entry fee for the museum.

Cobh (Cork), Ireland

We went to the Blarney Castle. Wished we would have pick something else. By the time you climb the huge amount of narrow stairs and low doorways as you are climbing those stairs, then you get up there and see how they have to lay the person down, then the person has to duck head back and they push to the stone. No for us! Besides if kissing the Barney Stone brought you Good Health and Wealth, then OK (lol) but it only gives you the Gift of Gab. So we passed. The town shops were great and better prices than right by the Castle.

Portland (Weymouth), England, UK

Southampton (London), England

I'm sure it was ok but really didn't do much

Le Havre (Paris), France

5 out of 5
We only went in and saw Paris from the bus and stopped at the Eiffel Tower but Paris is amazing!! Certainly want to go back to see it to be able to stop at everything. Also we found the Parisians very nice and welcoming.

Zeebrugge (Bruges), Belgium

5 out of 5
We went on a tour of Bruges. Beautiful place with canals and shops. So quaint and just beautiful!!

Amsterdam, Netherlands

5 out of 5
One thing we stayed two days there. Took a tour to Zaans Schans the first day and it had all the working windmills and quaint houses. So pretty. Worth to visit there. Second day went into Amsterdam. Everything you want to see is so spread out so definitely buy an all day ticket to use the Trams and Buses. Watch out for the bicyles, lol. But everyone so nice and I wish we would have had a few more days to see everything I wanted. So, So Mush to see. Beautiful city. Also there is a direct train from Amsterdam to the Airport and back. The train is under the airport, FYI
