Review summary

Bit dated but clean and comfortable for confined surroundings

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Thursday poolside fiesta at 3PM too close to early dinner. Consider late seating for this work-week cruise which also allows for port departure viewing. Chocolate buffet at midnight only suitable for nightowls. Variety and quality of food above average.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Music and dance revue high energy but lacking variety. Comedy night was much better. Would have enjoyed certain Indiviual/small group performances if earlier in day or evening.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Seemed genuinely friendly/helpful despite repeating this process cruise after cruise.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Movement between decks compromised w/less than user friendly elevator capacity and stairwell layout.

Cabin / Stateroom
