Review summary

Overall, one of the best itineraries we have been on. We did this same trip a couple of years ago, but a few of the ports were changed due to hurricane damage. They are all recovering and very happy for the tourists to come. Can't wait to cruise again!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Dining room service was wonderful, food tasty, but much smaller portions than in the past. Lido dining very good, breakfast especially good.

Onboard Activities

Spa area, hydro pool always our favorite area, was great.

Entertainment

some performers good, comic not good at all. we miss the stage shows and hope they bring them back. particulary enjoyed pianist and singers.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Room stewards great as usual, waiters also, front desk personnel was very helpful and polite.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
layout was good, did not enjoy design or color scheme, but ship is beautiful and well maintained. it is a long walk from dining room to main stage area.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Was partially obstructed, which was not what we wanted, but since we took a guaranty, we dealt with it. Cabin small, but plenty of storage space, bathroom was nice and balcony was good.

Relax and enjoy the ship, it is very beautiful
