Review summary

Thank You for everything…we enjoyed our time and will bring our family with us next time!

It was clear that the entire staff worked hard at coordinating and communicating to ensure everyone was on and off the ship in a timely manner. Thank you!at

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The only thing I would recommend is being specific about those specialty dining areas which require that the guys wear slacks. We were excited about going to Le Bistro but were turned away because my husband didn’t have slacks. Had we known beforehand, we would have been better prepared!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
The pools were always pretty packed, and a was a challenge to find an available chair, let alone find a place in the pool!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
The Rumors show was excellent but again, it was a bit difficult to get into shows since they were pretty much pre-booked…Good to know for next time.

Children's Programs

No children

Everyone was very accommodating, helpful, and nice. There was a lady at The Spa who was a little rude about letting us know that the Spa package was full.

Cabin / Stateroom
