Review summary

I never had a bad meal or a bad drink on this ship. The martini bar was amazing and so was the whiskey bar.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Best embarkation I’ve ever experienced. We talk to a guy with a tablet for about two minutes and then were ready to board. I love that they let you go to your room and drop your bags off before your room is ready

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We had an amazing experience in the main dining room. Best I have ever had on a cruise. When I wanted to try something new, my waiter made sure I had a back up meal waiting, just in case. Never had a bad service the whole time we were on the ship. As far as the buffet, we generally don’t like buffets, but this buffet was not bad.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

We did a few of the trivia challenges. They were kind of few and far between but still fun. Not a lot of planned activities to do during the day unless you were at the pool.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The show was decent, the comedian, not so good, and the magician was pretty interesting. The entertainment throughout the ship was OK. The house band was pretty good but acoustics were not that great, but people still seem to have fun dancing.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I can’t say enough about how great the service was on the ship. At one point I was standing in line, waiting for my turn at the bar. A staff member approached me asking me what I needed so that I didn’t have to wait in line any longer. Amazing staff on this ship.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

There were some issues with the ships age showing itself, but everything was clean. At one point I had a leaky faucet and they had it fixed on our first port day.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Nothing amazing about the cabin. The balcony had a good view. Our cabin steward was amazing.

Ship tip

If you want good food, and good service, I recommend this ship. Not a lot to do after dinner at night so if you’re looking for a lot of nightlife, this is not the ship for you.
