Review summary

if you cant find something to like on this ship, you have a problem. Enjoyed the crew by talking to them. Dan Dan is extremely talented cruise director.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
processed through cattle gates in a timely organized fashion. terminal was efficient and did a nice job. luggage took awhile to arrive at cabin. Ship left on time with outstanding views. seasonably chilly for March, but well worth the views.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
O'Sheehans have the best wings i have eaten. Several times! Buffets were themed and overall decent but no so spectacular. Main rooms where impressive in style, size, and ambiance. Menus were varied daily. Food was average with desserts being memorable. specialty rooms were very good. Drinks were flowing freely and had some delay with service.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
shows, activities, were ample and fun. pools crowded but everyone found a seat together. (6 people). something to do at all times if you searched. Used the ships app to navigate and plan. nice job. Casino was smokey and irratating to non smokers to have to walk through.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
lots of planned stuff. Entertaining to pass several hours. Some shows were average, although none were bad.

Children's Programs

no kids under 16
