Review summary

If you are not a drinker do not get a drink package, the tips and taxes are more than you would spend. Might be cheap to get a regular beverage package but they only serve Pepsi. I don’t drink Pepsi so I opted for tea and it’s free.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Pretty good

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5
Main dining food average to poor. Specially dining great. Buffet, breakfast, burgers good. Other foods poor. They make you want to buy more specialty dining.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
That is what you make of it. Depending on your age. We have a group on elderly.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Dueling pianos was a money grab. It was who wanted to pay the most to hear a song request.

Children's Programs

No children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
No problems with the staff

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Like the ship

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin is average, balcony fits only 2 at a time

Ship tip

If you don’t like to walk, stay close to the elevator aft. We did and it helped a lot.

A cruise is what you make it. Everything is never perfect but also not all bad, that’s life. You take the good with the bad and you have a great time.

Honestly I'm sorry but it sounds like cruising is not for you We found tons of entertainment and activities that we all enjoyed MDR food was very good as was the specialty restaurants... just so you know my husband is a Food Director/Executive Chef so we do know good food. Why take a cruise if you dont even get off the ship to experience the adventures? Then the only one you did get off in you complain Maybe a staycation is best for you

You can research what’s in what drink package to see what’s the best fit for you and as for the dueling pianos every piano bar I’ve ever been in works that way. As for the dining that’s why they are freestyle dining. We like it that way for the options but it’s a preference.
