Review summary

The crew to passenger ratio was good, meaning service was good everywhere on board ship. Great!

We enjoyed the open anytime dining schedule. However, we found the food (dinner) to be less than exciting - boring really - and not up to the standard of other cruise lines. The breakfasts in the dining room were good. The buffet dining was good, especially if you happen to enjoy Asian food.

We found the internet cost to be exorbitant! Unreasonable! Ridiculous!

In fact, everything on board this cruise was more expensive that every other line I have cruised.

The entertainment was fine but unimaginative. The acts were good, but the same as we see on every cruise. (Except Cunard)

Our stateroom was modernized and clean. It needed a chair with a little back support. We had only a little stool! Like other cruise lines, the things we used to expect are no longer provided. Such as lotion, cotton balls, cotton buds, a robe and so forth. So take your own along.

All embarkations and disembarkations ran smoothly and efficiently.

Our cabin steward was excellent. The cabin was clean. No extras are provided. Take all your own toiletries with you. It needs a chair of some sort. The stool provided offers no support or comfort - and reading quietly in my room is a favorite pass time for me.
