Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The main dining room food was excellent. Very tasty and fresh. Been on other cruises on different lines and this food has been the best we have had in years. Lots of choices.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Onboard activities were plentiful. The music options were fantastic. There was always music being played around the ship.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The shows where there were outside entertainers were very good. The Cruise Director did a good job in choosing the acts. Whoever does the cast shows wasn't very good. The performers were very good, all good singers and dancers but the shows were had to follow. They just were confusing.

Ensemble Lounge

5 out of 5

Great venue. Would be nice if children weren't allowed to run up and back. After a certain time it should be off limits for unaccompanied children as this is where the speciality restaurants are and good music being played.

Captain Tasos was also the Master on Solstice during our Alaska cruise. His personality and willingness to engage with passengers is worth recognition. He also had a presentation of about an hour detailing his part in the final buildout of the Solstice. He was both funny and a good presenter.

Is Captain Tasos the one that makes Greek jokes?
