Review summary

The ship was very impressive. It was impeccably clean. The staff and crew were very helpful, considering that I did not speak a foreign language and needed explanations. My room was good size and very quiet. The dining room seemed very noisy, maybe due to the number of people in it? The service in the dining room was very good. The bathrooms were extremely clean at all times.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The food was just average. I would have preferred iced tea to drink and not pay for cokes, etc. The dining room seemed to be noisy to the point where I felt I had to talk, almost yell, to the people at my table.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The entertainment could have been better. The crew actually performed better than professionals. The bingo games could have been at better times. There were not a lot of options for my husband and I during free time.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and would go one step beyond to help in any way they could due to the fact that we could not speak a foreign language.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The room was extremely clean at all times. Size was good. I would prefer a tub to just a shower. Location of room was perfect.
