Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The overall quality of the food was very good, not great or outstanding. The amount of choices was great though. The freestyle cruising is outstanding.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The dancers were tremendous, the latin champions were exceptionally good and entertaining. Please don't bring on jugglers for adult entertainment.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone on board was very friendly and willing to help in anyway they could. The excursion staff really 'wowed' us with their ability to change an excursion on the spot and accomodate our needs. Jimmy ... the cruise director, what a terrific guy and his humor was just outstanding...made everything fun and informative.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Exceptionally clean, always warned if area was 'wet' so you wouldn't fall. So happy with the layout of the ship, I was oriented within a few days. Elevators weren't functional all the time though.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Excellent! Shower size is just great. The room steward(s) were very nice also.

A most wonderful port. The excursion was outstanding and the guide was very informative. The bus driver went very very fast though and I got a bit car sick.
