I like cruising, and I like that cruises are again an option post-Covid, but it's good to have low to medium expectations on a slightly older ship with sub-par ports. A cruise is what you make of it. Have great travel companions, plan good excursions, and get a balcony room so you can get away from the crowds and still see the sights.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
As with all embarkations, it sucks a little, but they have a good streamlined process.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
The people and service were excellent. The food was, well, cruise food - lots of it and decent. Nothing was horrible, but nothing really "wow'd" either. I would love for them to provide a way of accessing fresh drinking water in our rooms. It's easy to get dehydrated on these boats (sun, booze).
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Pools and hot tub (clean, not too crowded), bingo, nightly shows (fun!).
Entertainment
5 out of 5
They had several good shows, including an ice show.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
The people and service were excellent.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
The ship is older and could use an update at some point soon. But it was clean.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Nice balcony cabin with sofa seating area. Good for 2 people (or 3 if you like each other). Older amenities. Steward kept it tidy and clean.
Ship tip
The 14th floor seating/bar area is a gem. Great view of pool/activities and good bar service. Quiet and nice seating.
Disembarking never fun - lots of people who don't like to follow the rules... Just check your bags the night before and plan to disembark around 9:30 am. Well worth it.
