Review summary

The staff and entertainers were great. Every port offered something different. We re-booked while we were on the ship and received a great discount. Also, you can receive a bigger discount if you gamble enough in the casino.

Embarkation

We arrived about an hour before our time and there was no waiting outside.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

There was a variety of food to choose from and available whenever we were hungry.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The fitness center was huge with yoga, cross-fit and spin cycle classes.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Shows were a little different with some opera. But we thought they were awesome.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Staff was friendly and very helpful. My bed was a little firmer than I was use to and they brought in foam to make it softer.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

They had many outdoor seating areas which made it great when eating.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The balcony we chose ended up being obstructed and was not worth it. Make sure you choose one that has a clear wall that you can see through.

Ship tip

The ship is big and you will do a lot of walking.

Senior Frogs is right next to where you enter the town. The staff was awesome and the whole restaurant had a fun time with them. Make sure you wear the balloons on your head.
