Review summary

This cruise made us realize how much fun it is to be on a maiden voyage so we made a vow to always book long cruises whenever a ship ship comes out. Consequently, we booked the Sky for Nov 2019 and are looking forward to the new one that will be launched in 2020.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Now that we were Platinum, we have to admit that we like the special treatment.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
We were very disappointed in the first half of the cruise. The best entertainers on this ship were the Randy Heddon Quartet. We even became groupies and have kept in touch with them. We hope to see them again soon. Most of the comedians would have been more appropriate at children's birthday parties, and the guest singers were too loud, and we didn't enjoy their choices; however, the second half improved but still left a lot to be desired. We had never walked out on so many shows.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We absolutely loved our wait staff, particularly Mark and Ivan in the Crown Grill for breakfast and Nathakit for lunch and dinner. We were given special treatment every day so it was harder to get back to reality on our next cruise.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We didn't want to get off this ship. We could have stayed onboard for much longer. In fact, we loved it so much that we booked it for another 47 days in August 2018.
