Embarkation

5 out of 5

Smooth, quick and well organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food and staff were excellent. The ship's vessel-wide vibration was uncomfortable.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I thought the entertainment in BB King's Blues Lounge and in the Rock Room Lounge and Bar were both excellent. The World Stage selections that I viewed were not nearly as retentive for the audience

Entertainment

5 out of 5

I thought the entertainment in BB King's Blues Lounge and in the Rock Room Lounge and Bar were both excellent. 5-star applies Only at these two venues.

Children's Programs

No children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Within all departments, the crew and staff were excellent.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cleanliness was excellent. Interior decor was very good. Public area design was disappointing. Ship design has sacrificed the traditional central plaza and panoramic elevators. This kept the three elevator lobbies frequently crowded and public deck access slow.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Great location. Very clean. Smallest stateroom I have sailed in ten cruises. Comfort was poor due to cheap bedding and disruptive and discomforting ship-wide vibration while underway.
