Average cruise activities

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Poor entertainment. They relied too much on having other customers entraining one another. Terrible comic, No real headliners.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
service was good. There were no frozen drinks served at the bars by the theater. With so many people in one place, I expected a full service bar

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Clean but very dated

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It's not a Balcony but you can see a little of the outside by watching the Monitor

Ship tip

The ship is dated, you may get a better experience on a newer ship. It seem they drastically cut their entertainment budget. I believe you can get a better value on MSC.

I agree with you. The entertainment is almost non existent. Comedian is the same as our May cruise.

Thanks for the review. We had a great experience on Explorer and love the Voyager class ships. They have everything you need without feeling overwhelming.
