Review summary

Overall this was a great cruise; the only thing I wish is there were more sea days. Because going to a different port each day wears you out. Especially this time of year - it was extremely hot and you do a lot of walking. You need at least one more sea day at the end to unwind.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Once on the ship everything was very smooth

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The drinks were great, but I was surprised they didn't know how to make a Flirtini Martini. The food was OK - however, in my previous sailings, the food was much better. I would pay for the steakhouse again - it isn't worth it. The Italian restaurant was the best out of all the specialty restaurants

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

There definitely was not enough to do onboard - no real karaoke or comedy show. We went to the karaoke one night and there was absolutely no one in there at all

Entertainment

3 out of 5

We were never able to see a show because it was constantly booked; however, DJ were good and there was a band called something connect - they were great. The others not so much

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Service was good; you can definitely tell they are short staffed

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Some of the public bathrooms smelled -otherwise they do a good job and keeping the ship clean

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin was comfortable for 3 people in a cabin. my only issue is the face towels were very dingy. They need to invest in some new ones for sure.
