Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

One of the best we have ever experienced in terms of quality and diversity of menu items.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Loved the America's Test kitchen, Microsoft sponsored computer classes, and the variety of music available in the evenings ... really great.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Really didn't go to the stage shows because the other performers .. Rock and Roll, B.B>King and the piano duo were too good to miss.

Children's Programs

No children with us, but the few kids around seemed to be having fun.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Great staff all around..

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

All was clean and nice ... generally beautiful art everywhere.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Good cabin ..;. great bathroom features, but a little on the small side. Absolutely clean and comfortable.

Ship tip

One thing I have heard is avoid the 4th deck over the music venues... quite noisy at night, but otherwise ... go and enjoy a nice cruise.

We disembarked early in Cartagena for a land trip in Spain. If you choose to do this, you must arrange early with your travel agent or the cruise line.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5

The cruise line even arranged for customs to be done at a nearby port for our early disembarkation. I was impressed by this taxi over and back as well as the special work they did on our behalf.
