Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Plenty to do on this ship for all ages.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Music too loud all over the ship; shows, pool, promenade, dining room. It was more like foreground music than background music in common areas, hard to have a conversation. Theater was so loud people near me were covering their ears.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Fantastic staff! Washy Washy

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

ship shape ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Great size, no need to side step the bed to get to the balcony. Huge balcony (aft facing) large enough for 2 loungers, 2 chairs, and 2 tables.

Ship tip

Get on the elevator after people get off. Be patient and courteous to other cruisers. Dress up for the dining room or go to the windjammer buffet. Don't save pool deck chairs.
