Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Two seating times for dinner were offered. 6PM is too early and 8:30 PM was too late. No flex times were offered as on the NCL ships. Food in both the dining room and the casual Windjammer Cafe was very good. Breakfast in the Windjammer was perfect with pleanty of choices and the best smoked salmon/lox. Eggs made to order and plenty of other choices.

Entertainment

The room steward and waiters were great. One of the bar tenders had an attitude.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5
We upgraded to a junior suite because our 39 year old daughter was cruising with us. The sofa bed is only adequate for children. Our daughter had to get her own room. This was an expense we hadn't planned for and was very dissapointed that Vacation Outlet never informed us that the sofa bed could not sleep an adult.

Ports of call
