Review summary

This was a very inexpensive last minute cruise for us. We enjoyed the trip and the ship felt clean and safe. The staff was INCREDIBLY kind and helpful. After this great experience, since we are retired, we may do last minute cruises more often. With the Covid concerns, we felt quite safe with the precautions the ship had in place.

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was very good in the main dining room. Our Matre'D, head waiter and table waiter did a very nice job. Sometimes we had to wait a long time for the food, but it didn't matter because we were enjoying our time visitng at the table. The service in the buffet made me feel safe.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Movie under the stars was fun and very comfortable. Would have enjoyed popcorn. The nightly shows in the theater were very good, best quality I have ever seen on a ship.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The theater entertainment was EXCELLENT, as good as anything you might see in Las Vegas. The singer in the piano bar was VERY talented.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Waiters were all excellent. Food was sometimes slow to come out but not their fault. Room steward did a nice job, our room was always clean. Staff at service desk was very kind and helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Even though we had a long walk to our stateroom, the layout of the ship was nice. The common area were immaculate and very well kept. The ship looked like it had fresh paint and carpets.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was vey narrow without much walking space, but was otherwise comfortable. It was a LONG way from the elevator. The bed was very comfortable and the bedding was nice. The cabin was VERY clean, also the bathroom. There was plenty of storage space for our stuff. The shower was incredibly tiny but it worked OK. The balcony was small but fine for our needs. The

Ship tip

Ask for a room closer to the elevator
