Review summary

Excellent cruise for the ports of call, lots of full days off the ship which was nice. The ship is well appointed and they do a great job of entertaining and keeping you engaged if you would like to be. The rooms are sizable and clean. Great value for the money. Only complaint was the lack of options for food and drink. The standard dining was not very good.

The ambinace was good, but the food was poor and the drinks wer very inconsistant from one bartender to another.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The spa was large and had lots of options. The pools and slide areas were nice, but the weather was not what it needed to be to fully use them.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

There was a "party" pretty much every evening that was well organized and well attended. We did Bingo and Master chef which was fun and entertaining.

Children's Programs

did not have younger kids

Our Room Steward was excellent, he was on top of cleaning multiple times a day and the room always felt fresh. The rest of the staff seemed friendly and attentive.
