Review summary

We haven't been on a cruise in about 10 years so this was basically new to us again. We know now to bring our own drinks because the package is to expensive and to also read the daily activities so we can know what happening around the ship. This was a for a celebration of life, so we had fun but we know for next time so we can maximize our time.

Food and Dining

Some of the food lacked seasoning. I had fish 3 different times at the buffet and it had no flavor even with the sauce it was in. There was always a good variety of food to choose from, so I didn't feel bored.

Summer and Richie did an awesome job serving us at the Seashore restaurant! They were friendly and attentive. Richie was making sure we had enough to drink and they both wanted to make sure we were happy with our dinner options!!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Rohman was very good at keeping our stateroom clean and tidy. It was like everytime we came back to the room the bed was made. We would be back to the room at least 3 times a day. He was very personable and welcoming when introducing himself the first day!
