We loved the freestyle dining. If we did it again, we would never need to upgrade our dining package! Besides getting sick with upper respiratory issues and a little sea sick, the cruise was nice.

Review summary

It was worth what we paid for, but we were also glad that the ship had a hospital on board. They treated us well. Though it was not a super high class trip, it was a nice cruise in all.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Slightly confusing where to be dropped off.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Loved the main dining rooms! I wish the Manhattan was open more hours. We enjoyed the Taste and Savor as well. We were not impressed with Cagney's, but were with the seafood restaurant. The buffet was a good back-up plan.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Too cold for pools. The racing cars were a nice bonus. I am glad for the vitamin infusion IV.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

We were not impressed with 18+ venues.

Children's Programs

no children with us.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

They were friendly and kind.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship was very clean and kept repaired. The chandelier in the center was lovely, but there was no real grandeur other than that.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Very clean and good size, but the beds were not comfortable.

Ship tip

Do get the balcony cabin and if you are on a tight budget, you do not need to pay extra for the upgraded restaurants. The ones they have included are more than adequate.
