This cruise was a quick, relaxing getaway for my husband and me to get away from the job, house and kids and reconnect. The low-key atmosphere made it easy. It was a very enjoyable week.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Very easy and efficient. My only suggestion to make it better would be to provide cover for the standing crowd outside the cruiseport terminal to keep guests out of the sun. It wasn't a problem for us in winter (mild temps), but I can imagine it's terrible during the rest of the year.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
My one and only criticism of the whole cruise experience was the food. While it was plentiful and decent quality, there was no taste. I understand that it's necessary to withhold a lot of spice in order to feed the masses, most of us like seasoning and some spice. Overall, the food was very bland and tasteless. I heard many of the passengers on the ship complaining of the same thing.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
I really enjoyed the music in the dueling piano bar and Rolling Stones lounge.
Entertainment
3 out of 5
The comedian and dance shows were good. I didn't enjoy the pianist....just not my flavor.
Children's Programs
No kids on the cruise

Cabin / Stateroom

Loved the cabin! It was the best inside room I've ever had on a cruise (10+).
Ship tip
Know that it is an older crowd and don't expect a party ship. It's great for a relaxing, low-key vacation.
