Thoroughly enjoyable cruise. The ship was wonderful, the service fantastic. Some ports of call had limited appeal.

we thoroughly enjoyed the cruise. several of the ports have not much to see.

Embarkation

1 out of 5

Embarcation was a disaster. Over an hour and a half wait to board. Definitely needs to be improved.

Main dining room was wonderful. Staff were great. Lido was good, but cafeteria/buffet style no nearly as elegant - which we knew - but can be convenient. Food was good throughout.

The ship is beautiful. Built in 2018.

Ship tip

A great ship. Ask about what they have done to improve embarcation process. Book excursions very early. We were late and were waitlisted on most excursions.ns.
