Review summary

We had a slow and relaxing 7 days cruise. This was what we expected.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Arrived earlier, quick embarkation, but check-in desk staff is not professional and knowledgeable, as well not friendly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Buffets are average. Test is in average and not too many variety everyday. Should offer more selections for seniors eg. sugar free. Main dinning room is below average. We tried the 1st night at Da Vince, worst then buffet, so we canceled the rest nights at all main dining room.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Didn't use most. But pools are not crowded, nor with a bunch of drunk young groups. It will be great to have at one indoor pool and hot tub.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The stage shows are not average. Almost the same cruise performers, not too much creative, just changed the cloths and songs. The Magic To Do and the local Massachusetts performer are not impressed.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Bed and TV are great. Cabin always keeps clean. The hair dryer is too old and very loud, can't hear the TV when turned it on. The bathroom sink and shower spout are not working well, too old and old design. The Safe Deposit is not easy to open, needs to use a knife to open the closed door.

Ship tip

A choice of a small, fixable and conservative cruse ship with an easy Medallion operation.
