Review summary

My wife and I(early 40s) would definitely sail this ship again. The ship is large yet you can still experience everything in a week so it’s not too big. I can’t emphasize enough that Syd Normans is a must. Be there early and you may end up there every night it’s open like we did. If the ship is full the bartenders struggle to get drinks in a timely fashion.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was smooth and fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room and Cagneys had great food. The buffet was hit and miss.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
We spent most of our time at the pool. The only down fall of the pool is the 6’8” depth which you can’t stand in.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Syd Normans is a must see show/venue.

Children's Programs

Didn’t bring kids

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Our room steward was absolutely amazing. Bartenders have great attitudes but we’re very overwhelmed.

I'm glad you enjoyed your cruise. Some food for thought. If you do plan on going again, I would definitely recommend the spa! I know it costs, but it is totally worth it. Lots of amenities there a plus the pool is amazing and way less crowded.
