Review summary

We thoroughly enjoyed our cruise. The destinations were amazing.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We breezed right on the ship without issue.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The food was pretty good. Yes, in some cases it could have been a bit better (a touch more flavor on some dishes), but we never went hungry and always found plenty of things to eat.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Fitness center was clean. Hot tubs could've been a bit hotter. The fitness track was small and narrow. There wasn't a rock climbing wall. This was an older ship and I believe was lacking some of the newer activities. We were mainly at port so it didn't matter.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

There was really only one show that grabbed me - Elements was excellent. The others were really lacking in my opinion. Musicians and DJ's in the other open areas were good.

Children's Programs

Did not travel with children.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Room steward never took our dirty dishes/glasses out of the room. We had to repeatedly ask to have toilet paper replenished and body soap refilled.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The ship was clean and maintained. However the flow of the ship was a bit confusing. Certain floors did not provide access all the way through without going up or down a level.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The size of our cabin was great. Only downside was that the water would come out of the shower all of the time.
