Review summary

We loved our cruise - great organization, accommodations, entertainment, ports of call, and food. Well worth the price. Too bad the weather caused cancellation of our stop in Newport. Next time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
They let us on early. It was raining so I think they wanted to keep us moving.

It was cool so we didn't swim. Could have hot-tubbed.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Pretty good singing and dancing. Really liked Cece Teneal's tribute to Aretha Franklin. Excellent comedian, Ross!

Ship Quality

Good signage helped. Super clean. Fancy decor was fun.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We had the least expensive cabin. It was fine - super comfortable bed, nice lighting, good bathroom, plenty of closet space and storage, quiet, good movies. We slept and rested really well.

Ship tip

When you go in Fall, the weather can affect your itinerary. Alas, Newport was cancelled.
