The cruise is acceptable since it is only a 4 day cruise.

Embarkation was good. Since my husband needed assistance, he was directed to the handicap area to be transported on a wheelchair.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

There are only 2 complimentary main dining rooms (floors 5 & 6) in comparison to other cruise ships with more complimentary dining selections. Passengers will also pay additional $5 if two entrees are selected. Food in the buffet are mostly the same on a daily basis. Wait staff in the dining room and bar area are very helpful and accommodating.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The 16th floor is very confusing. If the front elevator was taken to the 16th floor, passengers are not able to go to the aft side of the ship without going up or down to another floor. Layout of the ship is a bit confusing.

Cabin is acceptable in size.

The maze like way some decks are configured are frustrating. It not always straightforward, you have to either go down or up and then circumnavigate around the not accessible area, which usually is reserved for the Yatch club passengers. Thank you for your review.

First cruise ever....not disappointed

Ship was beautiful the food average, the team very responsive even if they didnt understand what we asked of them. The bed and pillow amazing. Sad that we had to track down several times to request toliet paper before we ran out completely.

Seaside. Too large to be enjoyable.
