Review summary

This cruise met my expectations for a larger boat with lots of people. It was more difficult than I am accustomed to to find a quiet space with access to fresh air. Food was good, service was excellent. I was very disappointed with my experience getting on and off the ship and that will be a deciding factor for my next cruise.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Getting on the ship was relatively easy. Our experience once we got on the ship was terrible - big crowds and no where to sit and eat.

Very long lines with poor control of the crowds trying to leave at the same time.
