Review summary

It was a beautiful ship. Built well for cold weather cruising. Since this was the ships first time going to Bermuda, they did not seem to have enough information on what to do and where to go. Seas were so rough the pools were closed. I would not take a cruise to Bermuda again especially late in the year. The ship itself was very well laid out and the crew was friendly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Good food but the dining room was too crowded. We were put up against a wall with no room to move at all.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Great shows but timing of them was a little off. They were not adequately written in the Day Planner and we missed some. Especially the chocolate buffet was just a small note on the Day Planner and was not at midnight like on most ships. The buffet was at 11 and when we arrived at midnight they would not let us in.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

I think because they were going to a port they had never been before, they were not as helpful as most ships I have been on.

Ship Quality

Beautiful ship - one of the best.

Cabin / Stateroom

One of the nicest inside rooms I have ever been in.
