Review summary

We had a great time. The food and on board musicians were first rate. The stage shows were too high energy and loud for us. The entertainers could have been more experienced.

Embarkation

A bit hectic

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Excellent. We are seniors and some food was too salty.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Excellent music, especially Mariachi band. Stage shows could have used more seasoned entertainers. We didn’t like the high energy Jerry Lee Lewis Schtick. Duval was great.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Duval great. Stage shows so-so. Bands were great. Guest access to pianos for practice would be good.

Just an FYI. You can request low salt meals. We nter that off on the app….then talk to the head waiter on the first night. You are given the menu for the next day, the night before. You make your choice, and they make it low salt.
