Review summary

Over all very enjoyable. Ship was a bit more average than some we've been on, but we had no problems, other than the smoke.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Could have been a bit quicker, but overall very smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Very adequate - not memorable. I've had much better on other cruises. Breakfast food - omelets were very dry. Buffet food was just okay - except for the stir fry - it was really good. Dining room - very good, again, not the best. Coconut shrimp was wonderful. Lemon tart was great.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Loved meeting and dealing with all our staff - room service and dining room. Especially loved Tri and Mustafa waiting our table. And Josele cleaning our room.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Looked like this ship is ready for a re-do. They even pulled up and replaced the carpet in the buffet while we cruised!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Very adequate. You get used to the smallness after a day! No problem organizing our "stuff". There were people smoking on their balconies, and it blew in our room a bit. Wish they would enforce no smoking better.

Ship tip

Great shows fill up quickly - get there early. And, don't do dining, your time. After we ate at 5:30 the lines waiting were LONG.
