Review summary

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Quick and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Windjammer is slipping in food quality and choices. Particularly the salad bar.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Schooner lounge is too small to accommodate trivia.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Entertainment was great, particularly Grease. Schooner lounge singer is entertaining, but his cutting up and shortening songs is aggravating. He needs to mix it up. The act wears thin.

Children's Programs

No children with us

Ship tip

Explore the layout when you first get on. You can do so with more leasure. It will make it easier as the days wear on to have a clearer idea as to what is where.
