Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

MDR was great! Food was good and servers were attentive. Buffet was very efficient at any time that we went there. Mast grill was good too. Late night pizza and pasta bar.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We spent most days at the pool. Yes it is difficult to get a chair even if you go at 7:00 AM to get one. Oh well, the sun still shined and we got plenty of sun!

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Comedians were both good. Motown was great! Did not see the Whitney singer, but heard that she talked too much. Seats in the theater were super uncomfortable, so hopefully they will fix those in dry dock.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was attentive. Loved the Martini Bar staff!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Easy to get around, rarely had to wait very long for an elevator. Room was what we expected.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Bed was comfortable. We travel with our own pillows. Temp was good in the room. Don’t take an extension cord, even without a surge protector, they will confiscate it. Oops.
