An overall pleasant week with friends. Found mix of passengers to be quite broad - seniors, singles, families, large and small. Ship is well maintained with few if any shortcomings. Always something to eat.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Early arrival rewarded with steady and smooth progress through process.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Windjamer buffet was superior. Main dining rooms were a big disappointment. Actually preferred main buffet room. Specialty venues were overall very good.
One improvement would be better enforcement of dress codes in dining rooms and specialty dining.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Really used only the running track which was a fine feature. Might help if some directional signage was installed to guide the flow of users.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Took in the ice skating performance. Way above what we expected. Great skaters and costuming.
Children's Programs
No children in party.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Excellent service from our storeroom steward. Entire staff was routinely cheerful, welcoming, and helpful.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Appreciated that we didn't have to negotiate our way through the pool crowd to reach dining venues.
Too much smoking space.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Stateroom was comfortable and roomy enough for the two of us. Never a problem with cleanliness as our steward, Inyomann, was always on top of things.
Ship tip
Unless changes are made - stay out of the dining room. Stick with the Windjammer. The Prommenade Cafe and Sorrento's were nice, too.
