Review summary

This was a fabulous cruise! Overall we had a great experience. The staff was wonderful. As always we quickly found favorite staff members. The entertainment staff was the best we've ever had! Very pleased! Icecream lady ironically not pleasant. Maybe that's to discourage one from gaining weight and being frightened to come back for more. Ship was beautiful and clean. One of my favorite ships so far. 5 days at sea could have been bad but was pleasant. Overall a great trip!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The set up style was great, location of dining room was good. Would have preferred easier access to buffet when at poolside. The food presentation was beautiful and served well but the flavors were lacking a bit.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Pools, fitness center, dining track , bocce. Rock climbing was not on board (would have done it if it were the). This ship was not designed for more extreme activities though it was a beautiful ship by far!

Entertainment

Fabulous! The best we've ever had on a ship hands down. We were very impressed with the quality shows.

Didn't bring our children

Ship tip

If you have a balcony room they have you covered. No need to pack binoculars, hair dryer, umbrellas or a beach bag. Maybe the other rooms are the same way but our room had the things and had I known I would have saved myself the packing room and trouble of bringing my own.
