Review summary

Was rocky from the weather but I still enjoyed every bit

Embarkation

5 out of 5

New to ships ... this was made very easy by reading &following the signs to my ship. They took my luggage n showed me the line to follow. After going thru customs, I walked right into the ship. We were told the rooms would be available after 2pm. No problem

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I had dinner at the restaurant all but one night. The service was great and the food was awesome. No complaints!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Love the itinerary left in my room for the next day. It shows all the activities to choose from. Add those to ur agenda n get a lil notification prior to each activity.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The entertainers were great. Love that they actually mingle (and dance) with the customers in their time off

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Each staff I passed greeted me with a smile. Most asked if they could be of service as well. All seemed to stay busy, none were avoiding work or lolligagging around like we see in the states. Many learned my name just for this trip. And I love chatting with them to learn of their homeland

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Insomnia had me watching the staff clean the stairs n handrails n mirrors n elevator buttons n such every night

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Sorry about insomnia. I did get up at 4 the last morning of a cruise last year. I didn't want it to end !! I got up to savor it! It was rather awesome being alone watching the cleaning, but mostly going outside and looking at the manificent stars!! I think I liked to do that since I had an inside cabin.
