Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food in the dining room, including Club Class was adequate, the buffet was barely tolerable, and the specialty restaurant we used - The Bayou - was not worth the extra money.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Most of the Entertainment staff were a pleasure to deal with

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The theater entertainment was poor, but the Piano Bar entertainer was OUTSTANDING.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
All the wait staff we encountered was wonderful, with one exception: the head waiter in Club Class had a very uneven personality and demeanor, and very poor culinary skills.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The suite was large and comfortable, but there were plumbing and A/C issues that had to be resolved after our arrival.

Ship tip

Don't expect luxury. It is comfortable, attractive, but basic.
