Nice first cruise that our family took with some friends. A few were also first time cruisers. It was a great way to get used to cruising without being overwhelmed by all the stuff on the bug ships. Now I think we can move up in size and not feel overwhelmed.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
First day boarding is a beating. Takes a while to get to your stateroom. Everyone just goes to the Buffett (Windjammer) and it's chaos.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Really Sit down and buffet were like 4.5 or 4.75. food was very good
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
The activities were ok. More for adults. this is and old ship, so there's not much available for kids. In fact our kids were often bored.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Shows and bands playing were good and enjoyable.
Really enjoyed the vibe they gave
Children's Programs
2 out of 5
Not very good for kids. It's a small boat with not a lot of activities for them. Older kids have it a little better, but even then, they mostly just run around on their own.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Louie and Ujian at the pool bar on deck 9, and Yogi working our stateroom were fantastic.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
5 stars for cleanliness and 3 for design. Again, it's old. Laid out well, but just old and missing a few of the features you may be expecting as normal on a ship
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
It was about the size of a small hotel room. Very nice.
Ship tip
It's worth making time for the sit down restaurant over the buffet.
