Ship experiences

Sea View Bar

This bar was wonderful. Had a server that worked there and he was absolutely the best. His name was Dennis.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

The shows were very nice

Entertainment

2 out of 5

The BBKing show was so loud that we could not stay to listen to them.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

State room stewards were more than great! Did not care for the attitude of the cruise director. She was very rude at times. I did not care for her attitude. She could work on her people skills. She acts like she is better than other people. I DO NOT care for that kind of attitude expecially when you are working in the public. Very sad😳

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Ship was very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Was very clean. Although the carpet had a few stains and it did have an unpleasant order.

Ship tip

When you want a relaxing drink, go to deck9 Lido aft and ask for Dennis.

The activities guide never varied. I felt like the cruise director was phoning it in. Yes, I agree that there wasn’t much going on beyond cruise basics. It’s a very high-tech ship, but people on vacation enjoy some low-tech, too. No Library?! The captain said that that will change during the ship’s visit to the shipyards at the end of 2018. They were working very hard to try to sell this ship to the guests. We weren’t buying it. As always, the crew was the best! And we have two more HAL trips planned
