Review summary

Overall, this was a great cruise experience.  Entertainment on board was very good.  Cruise Director Dan Dan and his staff are outstanding and very engaged with passengers.  Food, while always subjective, is good; menus had  a good variety of items to appeal to all tastes.  Overall condition of the ship was good - clean, and neatly kept.  Crew members other than in the MDR friendly and professional. Our  Room Steward Ben was excellent.  Bar staff excellent, especially at Shakers and Maltings Beer & Whiskey Bar.  Loved the poolside barbeques on sea days.  Wish there was a quiet pool for adults as the 2 main pool areas got a bit crowded and noisy  especially hot tubs which were kiddie pools every sea day.  Overall, we enjoyed this cruise and would do it again.

Ship tip

The hallways on deck 8 are very much like a maze in that it is not a straight walkway and it takes a bit to acclimate. We loved the location anyway.
