Review summary

Ship a bit dated, but didn't bother me, everyplace is kept very clean. They have little extra things that others ships I was on didn't, like robe, celebrity infinity bag, hot chocolate or water when arriving back on to ship after a day out, proper cloth towels to dry your hands in public toilets. Staff are the friendliest I've ever come across. Food is very good and hot.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
It literally took minutes, once all your on line check in was fine!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
After reading many reviews before I cruised I was a bit worried that I wouldn't like the food, but boy was I wrong. The food was absolutely excellent 5*+++++in both the restaurant and buffet.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Not much going on, and when there is, the ladies who do the quizzes are a bit boring, and because of them I didn't attend some of the activities. But Ernest the cruise director is great.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Entertainment was good but not great. They had a comedian on, he was ok. A musician from New Zealand was ok. A violinist was ok. A dance group I saw just once and they were good. But the music around the ship was just ok. If you like classical music, you're sorted.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff were outstanding. Especially the ones in the cafe and our room steward Kavige was excellent! Nothing was too much trouble for him.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship is spotless. Staff are always cleaning. The layout of the ship is good.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Just like any other ship cabin, it was clean and had everything we needed. You can see a bit of wear and tear but that didn't bother me. Bed very comfortable.

Ship tip

Go and enjoy yourself and ignore all the negative reviews.
