Review summary

The entertainment was excellent and overall the cruise was a phenomenal value for the money. Freestyle dining has pros and cons. The pros are that you can eat anytime you want and get a good selection. The cons are the lack of the five course and upscale meals to which many of us have become accustomed. The ship has undergone renovations. Our room had a broken closet door latch and the balcony needed to be painted. Several of the pieces of equipment in the fitness room were in need of repair.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The entertainment was top notch and of a great variety and quality. Well worth the cruise.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Due to the lack of a dedicated wait staff at dinner lead to poor service. Often had to wait several minutes to be greeted and to get drinks. The food was of a good quality, but was often served cold. Certain eating times were very crowded and led to longer wait times for dinner.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean, but the fitness equipment was in need of repair.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Our room was clean, but the closet had a latch that was broken. The bed dust ruffle was torn.

Pros: The entertainment

Cons: Lack of formal dinners, broken work out equipment
