Review summary

We all had fun…5 of us all over 55. Disappointing to lose one port of call and change a port last minute, but we made the best of it. Make sure you make dining specialty reservations as soon as possible. They were closed on line and we went as soon as we got on ship at 11:30 and we could not get for Ocean Blue…fully booked whole cruise. Have fun…that is main criteria for cruising!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was fair. The variety offered in the dinning room menus made us search for better places to eat! Cagneys and Teppanyaki were tremendous.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Very little for us. Never any pool chairs in shade even going down at 8 am. We like trivia and it was very sparse.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Says Norman’s was great, but you had to stand in line over an hour before the show started. Burn the floor was okay. The male comedian was very funny.

Children's Programs

No children with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

All staff was friendly and helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Staff was always cleaning. Didn’t see wear and tear…but I wasn’t looking for it either.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

We had 3 Adults in room and didn’t feel crowded. Balcony was small compared to other ships we have sailed on.

Ship tip

See Syd Norman’s even if you have to wait in line. Go with the flow and have a great time!

Disembarkation

Very smooth once your tag was called however we missed our train because Norwegian would not let us off earlier then the tag we received…apparently only applies for air flight.
