Review summary

Will definitely do this cruise again, loved the port one day, sea day the next all the way down to our destination

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very smooth, no issues, room was even available immediately

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Three main dining rooms, one for specific dinner time, one for reservations - unique time daily, one for walk-in, great options! Specialty restaurants were outstanding and service was first class. Buffets, three of them available for breakfast, lunch, tea time and dinner, at least two of them were available for dinner and all had very extensive items to select from at each meal.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Good variety of activities, since we had a range of temperatures between Quebec City Canada and Fort Lauderdale Florida think ship should have had a covered Pool area or Solarium area.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Enjoyed all of ships stage and production shows, musicians/DJs, comedians !

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All waiters, room steward and management, customer service were friendly, service oriented, right on top of any issues.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Although ship was showing its age, regular maintenance was being performed. Bathrooms were attended to regularly and in great shape.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Would like to have had a coach versus just one chair in the room, room was comfortable and very clean.

Ship tip

Book your dining before you get on the ship! Earlier the better to get what you want.
