Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
As usual Cagney's was outstanding as well as Ocean Blue and Texas Q. We also enjoyed Savor and Taste. Staff was friendly and attentive with everything. Buffet was always a good breakfast and variety.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We had a spa pass for the thermal suite. Everyday we truly enjoyed the different offerings ( pool, sauna, thermal heated lounge, salt room)

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Outstanding. Choir of men leaves you lite up inside. Kinky Boots was so much fun with great music.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
From the room steward to the general staff, cooks in the Garden Cafe, bartenders, all were excellent. We did not see one crew member that was not going out of their way to make everything enjoyable and comfortable.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Washy washy (always on the ball), always saw workers constantly at work cleaning, helping people, friendly

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Our balcony was mid ship on Deck 14. Nice size. Bathroom was very nice and it had a lot of room. Bed was comfortable. Per our request they put an egg crate on the bed as I had back surgery. Nice size balcony.

Ship tip

Take full advantage of the Observation lounge. The views. The comfortable seating. The afternoon tea.

Enjoyed horse drawn ride. Unfortunately due to unforseen fog we arrived late and we're unable to see some views. Still enjoyed ourselves.

Disembarkation

I use a wheelchair to disembark and everyone was so helpful and kind.
