Review summary

We always pay extra to treat ourselves to a "suite." However, this time around, we felt cramp having to bump into each other (or wait for one to pass first), as we walked in front of the bed. The closet is way too close to the bed and not very functional when you open the closet door (we did not use it). Instead, we used the drawers to place our clothing. For the price paid, suites should be larger!! No problems at all with cleanliness of the room.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All dining rooms, specialty restaurants and buffets were fine; however, every time we ordered food, the food could have been much hotter. Also, I had my heart set on having Filet Mignon and Cagney's was out of stock on the 2nd day of our cruise!!! Unbelievable! We thought by the last day of our cruise they would have been restocked, when we treated ourselves to Cagney on the last night of our cruise, it was STILL out of stock!!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Lots of dancing, and participating in Trivia games, and watching some of the other game shows, and entertainment shows in the Stardust Theater.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
"Blazing Boots" was awesome. We watched the magician show from Spain, and the acrobatic show. I was somewhat disappointed in the selection of musicians available. We enjoy a live Latin Band and there were no Latin Bands on this cruise.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Never a doubt! Every cruise we've been on, we have always experienced excellent service from waiters, room stewards and all ship personnel. They're all very humble.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship Design: A little disappointed there is no bar in the main Atrium (only a coffee bar). Also, we did not like the location of the Martini bar and Tankards bar.

Cabin / Stateroom
