It was a nice getaway. The warm weather renewed us while we sipped on great drinks. Friendly and helpful staff. Many food options. Price was reasonable.

Embarkation

Emails we received had all the check marks completed. No mention of luggage tags. Porter handled the tags. We recieved email about tags AFTER we were on the ship.

We liked the options for complimentary dining locations.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Pool area lacked music. Having to wait until aboard ship to sign up to see entertainment was a process that should have happen before boarding. Would make for a more relaxing start to the trip. Took time to understand the process and therefore the shows were booked or on 10 p. m. shows available.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Excellent Service.

Why is the casino still a smoking area? We are nonsmokers, so we didn't go there. The smokers can go to smoking area. Areas are clean and attractive. More seating needed in Atrium.

Cabin / Stateroom

We have always booked rooms with no windows and had a small couch. This room didn't even have a chair. No drawers for clothes. Shower was larger than expected. That was nice.
