Review summary

Overall a good cruise. Enjoyed our cabin. Service was ok. Meals ok. Ports of call ok but excursions were sometimes rushed with unorganized and uninterested tour guides.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Different than as usual do to immigration requirements on ports being visited.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Only two standout dinners in the main dining room. Tuscan was great for food and service Al Bacio service lacking Ocean view choices seemed more suited to ethnicities other than westerners. Some dishes like a stir fry only available at dinner but pasta always available.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Pool drained, other outdoor venues closed due to weather a lot.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Great if you enjoy musicals but if you don’t, very limited shows. Comedian was an embarrassment. The “love doctor” was very good.

Children's Programs

No kids
