Embarkation was going smootly until they called to many groups at too close of an interval. Hundreds of people were just standing and waitig to get onto the ship at the same time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The food at the upcharge steakhouse was fabulous! The food in the MDR was medocre at besst. We found ourselves at O'Sheehan's the most due to tastless food at the buffett.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

The Kareoke was so much fun.

Entertainment

We didn't partake.

Children's Programs

No children.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Staff seemed hurried and overworked. There seemed to be too great a ratio between staff and guests.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Ship layout is the worst of any cruise I have been on (20). It is well maintained however and kept very clean throughout.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

This was one of the best inside cabins we have ever had on a cruise. Very roomy for two, plenty of storage and it was very conveniently located near O'Sheehan's where we ate the majority of our meals and cocktails.

Ship tip

Don't get frustrated by this ships odd layout and have a great time! You're on a vacation and that's what it's all about!! Enjoy and use your ship map.
