Review summary

Well run, very attentive to passenger needs, wonderful food, eating arrangements and informality a great plus.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Flexibility and informality were great. Service and quality of food couldn't be better.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The entertainment was OK, but not of great consequence to us, as we primarily spent our time on shore and by the time we got back to the ship every night were ready for dinner and bed.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Only problem was one elevator which was "temporarily" out of service for the entire 14 days and created inconvenience for passengers at that end of the ship.

Slow Internet is a big complaint across all cruise lines. A broken elevator is a big problem on ships and I have experienced this on two cruises. One time the problem was fixed after several days.
