Review summary

After seeing some reviews I didn’t know what to expect. But I loved this ship and it’s more traditional cruise feeling. More ships should be made like this instead of having too much, such as water parks, slides, etc. Would happily sail on the beautiful Enchantment of the Seas again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth embarkment at Civitavecchia

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Attentive and quick service from the waiters in the MDR. Buffet food has good choices for a small ship. Tables cleared quickly so never a problem trying to find somewhere to sit.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Great stage shows and so happy to see the headliner act of The Barricade Boys, who I had paid to see in concert last year. Amazing!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All staff from room steward, bar staff, drinks staff, waiters and everyone else were always so friendly. The ship seemed to have good camaraderie between the staff members which made a good atmosphere for guests

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I had seen some not such good reviews of this ship, but was pleasantly surprised on there. Loved the layout and the centrum area. Was always so clean everywhere.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Decent size for an outside cabin. Could tell the ship was older and in need of some refurbishment, but not a problem. Bathroom was quite small and the shower had a curtain. But for a week, it was bearable and I’d stay in that room again.

Ship tip

If you want a bar with some quiet time, go to the Viking Crown Lounge. Lovely little area. And also the pizza in the solarium was just SO good.

Left cases outside the cabin at night and were easy to find in the morning ready to take on the bus for airport transfer.
