Review summary

Very good cruise would rate it better than costa or msc. overall only the entertainment variety was lacking some. Those that performed were good, smaller entertainment venues were difficult to get into if not reserved early

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was fast for the amount of people.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Good food. Some were complaining about the wine selection but I only had two glasses during the cruise and was fine. I expect all drinks to be more expensive on a cruise than in Europe at a restuaraunt

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Too cold for most outdoor activities, did is gym and no difficulties finding space. Central entertainment, atrium musicians were too low key for the noise level, and needed to vary the musicians

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Shows were standard nothing great nothing terrible. Booking into smaller venues was a problem and 2 of 8 nights did not see a show because it was repeat of prior show.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Polite and attentive, that's all to expect.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Kept clean and easy to inderstand

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Just a hotel room at sea. Had a balcony which made the st sea days much better.

Ship tip

Explore the ship didn't find some of the bars until last sea day because they were only noticeable from the outside deck area they blended into the normal seating areas on the inside.

Most all entertainment needs to be reserved ahead of cruise online with these mega ships. Some things need to be reserved once onboard, like the comedy club.
