Review summary

This cruise line and ship are wonderful! This was my second cruise in 2 months. Food and drinks are top notch, though the same cocktail will taste different from different bars. So sample around! The staff are very attentive, and there are lots of options/places for just relaxing. The Trivia content and presentation could use a little work, so just be sure to have a cocktail in hand for this activity.

Ship tip

Verify your onboard credit on Day 1. If it's not there it will take 3-4 days for them to straighten it out. Also, check you account carefully at the end of the cruise. We were overcharged, but it was easily and quickly corrected.
