Embarkation

My embarkation was smooth and well coordinated.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
There seems to be a lot of fuss about drinks and alcohol but I don't see it as an issue. Make alcohol less of a pressure marketing tool for making money.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
It was too cold for pools, spas are over rated and over priced, theatre shows and lectures were interesting and informative when not saturated with onboard marketing of cruise shopping. Didn't do any specialty dinner because on one occasion I called they were booked. Enjoyed the fitness Center; wished there were more classes there. Not into casino but like cards- wish they had bridge.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Enjoyed a few of the shows. Thought the performance was fun and energetic.

Children's Programs

I had no children
