Highlight was the Chefs dinner ... great wines ... fantastic food. Wine paring lunch was very interesting ... some of the food was interesting ... some of wines superb. Good Spirits was a hit. Product knowledge and delivery outstanding.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
Long lines but the cruise staff tried to help (I unfortunately had to use a walker) Cruise line did its best to deal with a terminal that was not built to handle large ships
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
Italian was fantastic …steak and seafood average …buffets poor and tasteless … main dining disorganized and the food variable … one bar was exceptional (Good Spirits) …all other bars poor and inexperienced. Product knowledge was poor.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Cannot judge ... I did not participate
Entertainment
4 out of 5
First review was exceptional ... magic show was good ... enjoyed the violins in the Piazza ... definitely appreciated the reserved seating with great access to see the entertainment
Children's Programs
We did not bring our grand children on the cruise
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Our steward was exceptional ... room service was generally quick but the staff needs listen more closely (in most cases something was missed ... no sugar ... no spoons ... no butter ... even when requested.) Waiters on the floor were friendly, prompt and efficient.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
The ship is showing its age ... rust on the balconies and windows. It was absolutely clean and well maintained. I found the layout challenging ... only some floors provided through access with the exception of the cabin floors ... only decks 15 and 7 (on one side) provided full length access.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our room was the best ... fantastic stewart ... never needed anything that was not delivered. Clean, comfortable and a great size for us.
