Entertainment

3 out of 5

The entertainment in the theatre was minimal. The shows that were available were good. Other cruises that we have been on have had more than just one venue per night. For example, an evening might have the main show in the large theatre and then later in the evening a comedian or juggler, or whatever might perform in a lounge. This cruise had just one performer per night and on a night when we were in port, no performances. There were singers and musicians in lounges, pool area, and the atrium area every day throughout the day.

Fastest and smoothest disembarkation ever. At 9:15 am we were on board in our waiting area and told that we could leave the ship. By 9:55 am we were in our car ready to leave the long term parking lot.

Absolutely loved it!! Loved the older ship and that it wasn’t completely modernized! The staff was Amazing! The food was great! Loved that there was always something for all of us to do, or not do anything at all! This ship was way more than we expected

It was wonderful, literally felt like we were living in the lap of luxury
