Review summary

Nice relaxing cruise. If you have not cruised before, be prepared for people to loose there manners when they get on board if they had any to begin with.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was better than on other cruises. On the Lido deck, the food was actually hot. One of the cooks in the morning, Mary, made great omelets.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

The staff was very friendly and helpful, except one young lady at the front desk. She was rude, arrogant and condescending. She should be retrained or moved to a position where she does not deal with people.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

It is a nice ship, but does not have a personality like other HAL ships, like the Eurodam.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Standard cabin nothing special about it.
