Review summary

Great ship, though too large for me. Wonderful people, both crew and some passengers. Met new people to enjoy cruise with, enjoyed the dinners immensely! The corned beef sandwich on deck 8 is wonderful! Production shows were high energy and fun!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Efficient, but lots of walking for those with canes/ walkers

Ship experiences

Lots of trivia’s, games for adults.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The performers were absolutely fabulous! We saw the Rock show twice! 2 different sets of performers, one group in Grand Central stage, the other in theater. Phenomenal!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The waiters at the Palm, actually all over the ship, were wonderful! So hardworking, thoughtful, accommodating, friendly. I saw many an “entitled” passenger, and this staff kept its cool!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Huge, huge, huge. Actually, I prefer the smaller ships. This was a beautiful ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Mid to front, but a great place! Wonderful cabin steward, Edwin!

I’ve been here many times, though the shops are still fun to visit. I mostly went there for wifi.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

My excursion was cancelled here, and I’m very disappointed. I’ve been to the shopping area many times.
