Review summary

I tend to get very seasick and had no problem, so this was great for me. I used the seabands on the wrists for the first day at sea and otherwise was fine. We went towards the end of the season so we did not see very much ocean wildlife from the ship, as I had hoped we would. The cruise ship and staff were excellent - it was all in all a wonderful cruise.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

For cruise food I think it was very good. I am married to a gourmet cook, so it's hard to compare.

Ship tip

We sailed Aug 14-21 and did not see that much ocean wildlife as I thought I would have from the ship - I've been told that if you want to see more wildlife, cruise earlier in the season.
