Review summary

Let me start with the salt throughout the ship. They refer to it as sea salt but it is actually rock salt. Huge pieces that do not work in the grinders so bring your own salt if you need it. The cruise director Silas was awesome and he engaged cruisers in the atrium every night. The shows were good but not outstanding. I likeed the Million Dollar Quartet and Burn the Floor was Salsa dancing which was okay. The specialty restaurants were great and we never even had time to check the Comedy Club. I think four ports back to back might be alot for a 7-8 day cruise. I would like more time on the ship. Overall an awesome cruise.

Awesome room steward and the Spa Balcony was well worth it. There was plenty of room for storage for all three of us. We were made to feel like valued guests by the Captain, Maggie and all staff.

Ship tip

The salt is terrible and looks like rock salt. It does not grind well if at all, so bring your own.
