Embarkation

5 out of 5

Quick

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Good food from the buffets to the dining rooms- best cruise food we’ve had in years. Do miss a 24 hr pizza venue. Did struggle to find a good signature drink

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pool was always crowded. Fitness center needs some kettle bells. Library decent. Game room needed more games

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The 2 stage shows were great and the magician/comedian was ok but on too many nights. Really nothing to do in the evenings esp after 10….. heard it described as a snooze cruise and that is accurate

Children's Programs

Teen not interested

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
