Review summary

It was the best cruise ever, so relaxing and my room was so comfortable. The perks for the cruise were just so nice and not to worry about the add on to our bill. Staff were all so friendly, food selection was excellent and so many to choose from at dinner and at the buffet. I love the entertainment. All of it were the best I've seen on a cruise ship.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
I tried the different food from different countries at the buffet. So many food stations, that you have to try all the new foods! Desserts and fruits were always fresh each day. The dining room menu had a wide selection of food, all of them so good, that I could stop eating! And the desserts, oh my, must have gain those extra pounds!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
I didn't do much of the activities, but liked watching the dancing lessons, and seeing couples enjoying learning to dance. I did go see the two movies shown on the ship, but had trouble finding the Star is Born, until I asked someone. There should had been a larger sign saying the smaller theater since you don't notice it on the wall. I had to ask, and missed the first part of the picture.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The dancers and signers were excellent, such energy, plus the other entertainment. I can't say anything negative about the comedians, they were so funny. I still don't know how the magician did the banner at the end of his act. Best entertainment of all the cruises I have taken. The musicians were all very good, music to suit the audience taste and easy to dance to.

Children's Programs

No children traveling with me

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I'm so glad that we were able to get the table from the matre de, who assigned us table 160. It was like we were in our own private section, away from the main dining room and the noise. Our waiter, Luis, and assistant waiter, Jose, were the best ever. Getting the food selection we wanted, exactly the way we wanted. My room steward, Ida B., always had my room ready whenever I came back from breakfast and at the end of the day. He knew I would come back after dinner, and before going to the evening show, whenever he saw me, he would run and open my door for me. I appreciate the attention since I am in my 80s.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
For a large cruise ship, everything was spacious. I do like a more sitting area down on deck 3 to watch the band and singers perform, or more sitting areas on deck 4, looking down.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Ida B kept my cabin very clean, fresh towels when needed, ice when it got empty, and even put a small vase of fresh flowers for me.

Ship tip

I was in the jewlery store and I wanted to see a piece of jewelery but there were only 2 clerks and they were alreay helping others. More clerks are needed in the jewelery dept. Also, like I said before, I couldn't find the second showing of the movie, "A Star Was Born" and notic

The cruise went to Samana, Dominican Republic. We got the outside exrusion, who took up to the resort, and he was able to get us a person to give us a tour of the resort. Very nice...

Nassau, Bahamas

Too small for a tour, but had many stores, but had three other cruise ships, so it got too crowed, and warm.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were able to get off the ship, since we were the first to get off. We did like the continental breakfast that was provided at one of the dining areas before getting off.
