Review summary

My wife and I found this to be a great experience. The major disappointment was the cancellation of Santornini. The staff was extremely accomadating and friendly. The ship is big and full of options.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
The computers were initially down which caused quite a bit of chaos and delay to getting on to the ship

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food and drink was good. The food in the specialty restaurants and main dining rooms were very good. The Garden Buffet got to be fairly redundant. It was annoying to be directed to wash up when entering the Garden Buffet each time, even when we were actually heading straight there to do it.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Could never find the miniature golf. Some of the activities were not available.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
The music was good. Did not attend any shows.

Children's Programs

No children with us
