Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Speciality dining was ALL outstanding. Main dining rooms were good for breakfast and lunch. At dinner- menus were from the 1980's and everything was rushed and crowded.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

We LOVED the thermal spa, the gym and the Vibe Club. Everything else was crowded and chaotic.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

We didn't go to any - again everything was crowded and chaotic. We stuck with the thermal spa, gym and Vibe Club.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Most were very good. Some seemed exhausted or brand new or burnt out. I don't blame them, they were all clearly over worked.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Very difficult to get to closet as the bed was only a few inches from closet door. We both use CPAPS and did take online advice to take an extension cord as there were no plugs on the wall by or behind bed. That made for a dangerous situation when getting up to go to the bathroom and trying to not trip on the cords.

Ship tip

Book The Vibe Club if you want a seat on deck. It is wonderful and no long wait for drinks. BEWARE The casino and on open deck smoking areas are not well sealed and you will be treating cigarette smoke.
