Review summary

Enjoyed being with our friends.  Food was good.  Liked buffet best due to selection.  The evening shows in Stardust theatre were good.  The shore excursions were okay, but needed more free time for shopping or exploring on our own.  We were disappointed that the Tall Ship excursion in Halifax had to be cancelled due to weather.  Wish there had been something similar to that, that we could have done in one of the other ports with better weather. It was the excursion I was looking most forward to.

Ship Quality

It was quite clean in our cabin and bath. The design of buffet seating area was inadequate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Was small but plenty of storage. Bathroom was clean. We asked the bed to be separated since that allowed more room to walk around. When they were together one side was blocked and could not walk by the desk, so had to crawl out backwards. Was fine after separated. Inside cabin with no window was not a problem. We mostly just slept there anyway.

Ship tip

Seating area at buffet was inadequate. More painting classes could be offered. Non denominational church service or gospel sing in chapel on Sundays. The smoke was so bad in the casino when we walked through that we couldn't have stayed. I can understand paying for alcohol drinks, but cokes?

Ports of call

Halifax, Nova Scotia
