We had a very nice time. Sad we missed the Azores due to weather but everything else was great!
Embarkation
4 out of 5
Quick getting thru paperwork but had to sit for 30 min in crowded room. No organization to crowd gettin on ship. Crowd just got up and lined up.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Cocktails were nicely done. Bartenders are great. Many wines were not available. No Cabernet until day 4 which upset many wine lovers. Food was good. Variety was good for a long cruise. Service was very good. Specialty restaurants good La Cucina was our favorite. Atmosphere and views off the front of the ship were great.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Trivia, game shows, history and language classes, cake decorating and fruit carving demos. Pools nice. H20 was our favorite. Fitness center was well equipped. Thermal Sp was a favorite.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Pricilla Queen of the Desert was my favorite. Performers talented. Loved Michelle the singer. Not a fan of the magician,comedian or Burn the Floor. Old jokes, dancers costumes and steps were repetitive. Crowd seemed to loved them. Everybody got a standing ovation.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Out Stewart Linston was perfect. Fulfilled every request. Waiters worked very hard to please. Ship was only 35% full so there were more staff than guests.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Always cleaning.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Not a fan of the round shape of the cabin or round short bed or the split bathroom. Your feet hang off the bed if your over 5’6”. And the bathroom is separate from the shower with a tiny sink in the bedroom. Lots and lots of cupboard and closet space but bring some extra hangers. Only one of the two closets has then and they can’t be transferred
Walking tour was nice. There was a Good Friday procession that was nice. The wavy tiled walkway along the ocean was nice. Beach was packed for Easter break.
Did the wicker basket tide first. A highlight if our trip because it was so unique. Bus to top of mountain with spectacular views above the clouds. Great tour!
