Review summary

Overall we enjoyed cruise. Small ship and easy to find everything we were looking to do. Elevators were a bit slow, so took stairs a lot during our cruise. During busy times I would either wait another after shows before trying to get on elevators or just take the stairs if you are In a hurry. The cruise director Marc was very good and kept everything fun.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was a breeze ! Keep all your printed documents out until you board.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dinning room food was good. Buffet was not very good. Very bland food for breakfast and lunch. We are in main dinning room every night.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Loved all the live parties on pool deck and promenade every night. We also liked the piano bar in schooner bar. Ice show was good and comedian show was ok. The show in the theater was good.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

We didn’t care for the live pool music, it was not very good. The music on pool deck was way to loud and we couldn’t even talk to the person sitting next to us. The music that was played by DJ was good but needed to be turned down a notch. The cruise director was very good and kept the ship alive !

Children's Programs

We didn’t have any kids with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All the staff on ship was very good and helpful. Always smiling and willing to help at anytime. Room attendant was very good and dinning room waiter was excellent!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship was very clean and well taken care of, but needs some TLC in rooms and buffet. Carpets and furniture is showing it’s age. All the windows were all dirty and needed cleaned. Especially in buffet and some of the bars. It was hard to see out of.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Our room was very clean and in a good location. Elevators were very close.

Ship tip

I would get a room on deck 8. Center of ship and near elevator. 8302 is a perfect room to stay in. Eat all meals I’m main dinning room. We loved breakfast In main dinning room, rather than buffet.
