Review summary

I did like it, we got sick on the one day. High winds and the ship rocking. The food was great, we had a couple iffy days. We had a small breakfast and snack place on our deck, the observation area on 15. And what was the banging almost nightly at 2 in the morning????? Bring earplugs. Get a balcony period end of story....Balcony is the best, or if you are rich the Haven. Starbucks prices are pretty much the same as home…go for it

We had one rude waiter in Taste or Savor, Saturday night at the end of the cruise.....he lied about his name, we complained because he was very very inconsiderate and rude the lies.... 😡

Entertainment

Very good, loved Six and Prohibition show. We walked out of Frankie And the 4 seasons show, language was really bad with kids in the audience.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
We got accused before we left port in Seattle of flushing the gloves that the housekeeping staff use, also baby wipes....we had neither in the room. They took photos and I told them I am a plumber in the maintenance field and I know that is not good. Then the next day as we were on the balcony the ‘plumber’ came in the room stating the toilet seat “bumper” was missing, it was not.....he was looking for gloves and baby wipes! I am not stupid. Again I am in the field and would know immediately if it was missing. We left great tips for our housekeeper and we felt like we were accused of something we didn’t do.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

A bit tight, and the shower water was COLD, had it on full hot and it was warm and cold alternating, I figure to get you in and out!

Ship tip

Don’t buy water, the ice and water taste great! Also, skip the internet, we had service 4 -5 days in port. It’s enough to load the pics to Facebook and make calls. Don’t bring any shirts, you end up buying a ton of them

We arrived at 7:40 pm, they allowed us off at 8:21 pm and the walk is 20 minutes ish, bus is 15.95! It was pitch black dark and the stores close at 9pm!!!! We stayed on the ship. That was not right.

Disembarkation

We did the take your own bags, it took a long time snaking though the ship to get off.
