Review summary

Overall, we had a great time on this cruise. Great ports and beautiful ship. Entertainment needs improvement and the timings of the shows need to coordinate better with dinner.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food in the main dining room and the buffet was excellent. It was a step above some of the previous cruises we've been on on other cruise lines.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
There were not enough free activities on the ship during the day. Just trivia. We did enjoy the dining room tour though.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The ships entertainment was good but again there wasn't enough during the day. No band by the pool ever and the rest of the musicians were only at night. We did like the dance shows and the comedians. The theater was too small however. You had to get to the theater at least 30 minutes before the show to get a seat. The timings were also off. Dinner was at 8:15 and the show was always at 7:30 and 9:00. You either had to be late for dinner or rush through to make the 9:30 show.

Children's Programs

not children in our party.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The waiters and room stewards were excellent. Always checking on us to see if we needed anything..

Ship Quality

New ship so great layout and it was well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Loved the large shower and the extra storage space.

Ship tip

do the anytime dining so you can coordinate with the shows. Also bring a deck of cards since there's not much to during the day that's free.
