Review summary

This was a very nice cruise, cabin was fine, food very good. Our “cruise guy” Thomas Houser did an excellent job, as usual, getting us lined up for a Neptune Suite and the related amenities. Good choice.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
If there’s a weak link it’s the entertainment. Need to beef up the production shows. Dancers were very good but…. The Rolling Stone Lounge band was excellent but one couldn’t get a seat in the “Lounge”.

Children's Programs

No kids.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Stateroom stewards were excellent, Putra and Nai. Took care of every concern we had quickly. Hazel and Minnie, the concierges in the Neptune Lounge, were also excellent. Answered questions and helped with any concerns one might have.
