Review summary

Enjoyed the cruise in spite of the line issues. Needed more time in ports. Need to use professional tenders instead of the super life boats. Could have easily made the Dublin port with professional tenders. I have tendered with much worse waves.

Teppanyaki food was way too garlicky but bland otherwise. Ocean Blue was not spectacular. Cagneys was awesome. MDRs were good. Buffet was good.

Sea day activities were slim.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Million Dollar Quartet and Elvis 1973 were excellent. Everything else was so so.
