Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food was excellent; however I found the service to be inferior to Celebrity and Princess. I think the fact that they don’t have scheduled dining times limits the staff’s ability to provide exceptional service.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

A great ship for kids with a great rope course, rock climbing and slides. The fitness center frequently got overcrowded but had very nice equipment. Wasn’t crazy about the $20 up charge for Spin class.

Service and Staff

Most were helpful. Some more than others. My overall impression was that the wait staff had low morale.

Ship Quality

Organize your mealtimes and make reservations if possible to avoid having to wait with a pager for dinner

Amazing!! Just be prepared for a horrendous immigration process! It took us about 2.5 hrs to get into Russia. The lines are crazy long and the service is terribly disorganized
