Review summary

This was our first cruise and we were not sure what to expect. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of our room...we had a balcony room and the spaciousness of the overall ship. Our steward was terrific and overall the staff on the ship was pretty good. We would rate this cruise as 7.5 out of 10. We were not very impressed with the food (except at Sabatinis which you have to pay extra for) and the entertainment was pretty weak.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
We really did not like having to eat in the same place every night although we did go to Sabatinis one night for a change of venue and food. The food and the location (DaVinci's) got really old by the end of the cruise.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Pretty weak.
