Review summary

Was my 2nd time on this ship, not as great as 1st.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

A little sluggish with long lines but after getting keycards we were able to get right on without waiting.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The buffet is very repetitive. Most food was good. The Dining room was great and I wish I ate there more! I didn’t do any specialty restaurants this cruise.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

This was a full cruise so everything was crowded. They need more activities especially with a full ship.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

I absolutely LOVED the entertainment staff! I know most of them by name and took pics with them! The shows were amazing and events the cruise staff were a part of was great!!!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

My room steward, Frank, was the best ever!!! He made or cruise so much better, especially for my Mom.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Only concern I have is that they should enforce washing or sanitizing hands before entering the buffet more. Other than that it’s a pretty well kept and cleaned ship.
