Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was always delicious and plentiful. Really liked visiting Scoops for the flavour of the day.

Mast Bar

5 out of 5

Mast Bar was never overly crowded. A great place to relax. Ask Adrian to surprise you with a drink. You won't be disappointed!

The Club

4 out of 5

Make sure to get to The Club early. There is not much seating.

Normandie Restaurant

5 out of 5

I thought Normandie was the best of the main dining rooms. Slavica was super attentive and the food was wonderful!

We enjoyed the trivia.

Entertainment

The shows were amazing. The technology in the theatre really added to the whole experience.

Service and Staff

Everyone was super friendly. Still slightly understaffed but you could tell that everyone was really trying.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The ship is beautiful. We were still finding new features and art on our last day.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had a concierge class infinite veranda. The room was very nice with a lot of storage.

Ship tip

Explore! We didn't find the Mast Bar until later in our cruise and wished we had found it earlier.
