Review summary

Not exotic destinations but fabulous service and pampering, and THAT is why we went. Loved the cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Boston cruise terminal is easy to get dropped off at. We arrived too early (as did many people) and the terminal was very crowdwd. When workers noticed I use a cane, they imediately assisted me and wscorted me through the 'handicapped' line, so i wouldn't have to stand so long. We had filled out all the boarding docments on line as directed, but while we were in line at the terminal, we lost internet. Thank goodness I printed my boarfing pass, etc out ahead of time. ha. Staff were very helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Usually ate in main dining hall. Service was impeccable. If you didn't finish a dish, you were kindly asked if you'd prefer something else. Very attentive.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
LOVE the salt water pool!!! Also paid for a week in the therapy pool area. Soooo nice!!! Had 1 massage. Worst experience was the HARD sell to BUY more spa services.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Theater is state of the art 180 degrees screen and acoustics. Dance productions were flawless.

Disembarkation

Having a cane allowed us to disembark on the lower level/shorter walk. Disembarkation was well organized. To wait for our ride, we sat on benches outside tot eh right of the doors. Worked very smoothly.
