Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Main dining room was good. Make sure and ask your waiter for detailed information about questionable food entrees. Hamburgers were delicious at the grill or main dining room at lunch. Pizza was a great go to for lunch in the buffet. All of wine and bar drinks were good. Service was excellent.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

There were plenty of pools and hot tubs. We loved the relaxation at the Solarium.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Entertainers were excellent. Barry from AMT, the lady from The Voice, the violinist as well as the venues that played throughout the ship at various bars, atrium and Sky Lounge.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I would say that this is where this cruise exceeded upon expectations from other cruise lines that we have sailed. The service was exceptional in the main dining room and our cabin. Our room was tended to several times throughout the day. Weakness: Tendering for excursions on at Nice and Livorno. It took around 2 hours to be tendered to begin our excursion.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Interior cabin was roomy with plenty of storage in comparison to newer ships. Nice large bathroom with lots of storage.
