Review summary

This was our first cruise, so nothing to compare it to. Wish the weather were better, but it's late October and we knew the weather would be a gamble. Overall good experience.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Delayed due to late arrival of previous trip

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Enjoyed Teppanyaki and Cagney's. Buffet was alright for breakfast, quick in and out - but getting hot food at the right temp was hit or miss

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Wasn't able to enjoy as many activities that I would've liked to since smokers are banished to the upper decks away from venues.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Enjoyed "For The Record: Brat Pack". Main pool deck could have been utilized for far more activities than it was.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I can only recall one staff member, in my encounters, that provided less than excellent service

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Cleanliness visually was good, but with hand sensitization stations only at restaurants - there's no way I can give 5 stars for cleanliness. Layout was not easy to navigate, limited my desire to try to find different places to experience

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Our steward was attentive and responsive to our needs
