A fantastic experience, which we hope to repeat in the future. The ports of call were all different and sunsets each evening were dramatic and spectacular. We made some great new friends from all over
Embarkation
3 out of 5
Crazy at Vancouver port. Security line was for both Celebrity and a Princess ship at the same time. Luckily we had an early check in time, so only 30 minutes, but we heard from other guests that later it was Iver 2 and a half hours!
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Buffet items were repetitive, but main dining room service and food was excellent. Service in Tuscan was shameful, waited 30 minutes before even a drinks order was taken, so complained to guest services. Service and food at le Petit Chef was great and murano was exceptional. We ate at the latter 2 speciality restaurants twice and had amazing experiences there.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Enjoyed the afternoon trivia quizzes, but felt more poolside games could have been arranged.
Entertainment
2 out of 5
Not as good as on previous ships we have cruised on. Expected more. No big production show sadly. Dj poolside was good, but just as people were starting to get into it, the session ended. Same with the poolside event, just got going and then finished. The seagulls band were great... the duo not so good... the comedian in the theatre was also very good
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Some exceptional, but Tuscan let it down. MDR and other 2 speciality restaurants mentioned before vèy good. State room attendant excellent, as was Alona the sommelier in MDR
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Some areas showing update may be due soon, but, on the whole very clean and for this size ship, a good design
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Great size bathroom, larger than average. Could use electric outlets each side of the bed. We had to borrow an extension cord for my CPAP which trailed across the floor. A major trip hazard
Ship tip
Enjoy the martini bar!
Remember your cruise experience is what you choose to make it
Great to have the overnight there. This gave us two days to explore. It was tendered, so took a while to get ashore. We did a 4 hour tour which to us half way to Hana, again viator... Great stops for pictures. Beware that some tours leave from the inheritance side of the island, which can take 40 minutes or more to get to and uber of $75
We did a tour which we booked on viator. Took us all around the area, including the volcano, steam vents, a walk through a lava tube, an orchid farm and many other sights... a very interesting port
Just brilliant!
We stayed 4 more nights at waikiki beach. Did a 9 hour circle tour of oahu one day and Athens paradise cove luau one evening. What amazing experiences and we'll worth the cost
