Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Loved the main dining room and the Windjammer buffet. Loved the choices at the buffet, but really enjoyed breakfast and dinner in the main dining rooms. Before and after a hectic day going ashore, I really appreciated being able to slow down, converse with the wait staff and enjoy my meal

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
I was VERY pleased with the size of my balcony cabin, and I loved all the little cubby spaces to store things! The bed was perfection and I loved sitting on my balcony watching the water when the ship was moving. My cabin was extremely clean.

Ship tip

Get a cabin mid-ship, with cabins above and below. . You are a little further from elevators but much less ship movement.
