Review summary

Dining staff Bayu and Ahkmad were top notch perhaps best ever encountered. You would be a lucky cruiser to have them as your waiters who make main dining room an enjoyable experience.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Although acceptable chairs very close together making seem like cattle call.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining - food high quality, service above many land restaurants, friendly knowledgeable waiter service, Windjammer buffet very crowded but food acceptable.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Although ship was forced to skip Bar Harbor and St. John’s because of unacceptable weather entertainment was both added and continued as if smooth sailing.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Ample for cruise ship but sometimes seemed to be rushing from late dining seating to shows.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Greatest we have encountered. Helpful in all difficult situations during many changes due to tropical storm.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Acceptable. While being confined to ship much of the time some areas seemed very crowded. Old but well kept.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Small but acceptable, room steward great, friendly but not intrusive and available when needed.b

Halifax, Nova Scotia

5 out of 5
Great excursion with great knowledgeable tour guide to Peggy’s Cove.
