Review summary

We enjoyed the cruise so much because of the beautiful wheather, the ship where there were just 900 guests instead of 2300, the food and drinks, the Ports…. We loved it!

Embarkation

We went to the cruise terminal in Stockholm by ferry. The Ferry stops in front of the ship: the nicest and easyest way to embark ❤️

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Overall the food was good to excellent. Sometimes is is a little bit overcooked to our European standard. The drinks are ok, although we didn’t like most of the wines they offer in the Beverage package.

Cagney's Steakhouse

4 out of 5

Had high expectations but the food was not what I expected. The service was very good. We used our free specialty dining of the Free at Sea, otherwise I think it was way overpriced.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We loved the size of the pool. You can really swim in it instead of just dipping. The hottubs were really hot.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The shows were different: we liked the juggler and the Dutch singer Isabel Commandeur. The acrobats were very good and the Elements show was amazing. The magician was so-so and the other shows were very much the same as on other cruises. We liked very much the band who played South American/Latin music: they knew how to start people dancing! 💃

To many people would leave the ship at the same time. So crowded in the halls.
