Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Due to the major Nor'Easter that we went through the on deck amenities were limited or closed. We worked out each day in the fitness center and that facility was nice, but the equipment was outdated. the staff there were nice. Took a couple of classes that were fun.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

I was UNDERWHELMED with the caliber of the entertainment overall. there was one show that was good kind of a broadway music dance but the others that we saw were awful.

Children's Programs

no kikds

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Garfield our cabin steward was great! and the fact that there were people puking all over - the staff did an exceptional job keeping the ship clean and "smell free!"

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

overall good

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was the perfect location given the storm.....and that fact that we had a balcony was critical for fresh air as all the outside spaces were closed for over three days.....

Ship tip

Book an outside stateroom with a balcony, lover lever mid ship to alleviate wave action should you find yourselves in a storm! And buy the drink and specialty packages!

I was on the same cruise and while there were enjoyable parts, I also felt trapped and disappointed in a trip that cost a lot of money.

cruising isn't for everyone but at least you gave it a shot...... and appreciate the positive review even though it's your last. 👍
