Embarkation

3 out of 5

we were all prebooked but they made us line up and wait. This was not efficient and frustrating. Once we made it to the front of the line, the staff helped move everyone along quickly. Luggage arrived quickly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The specialty restaurants were excellent! The buffet was good but very crowded. Dinners became repetitive in the main restaurants and it was not helpful that both restaurants had the exact same menu.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

2 out of 5

70 music was the theme and it got old very fast. Music in the lounges was not the best. The main group was ok but 70s music. Cirque is getting old.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

nicest cabin ever. we really appreciated the roominess and the full bath with a tub and separate areas. the balcony was roomy and there were ample spaces to unpack. Lots of quiet and very nice cabin stewards. thank you chris festerman for selecting the best viewing cabin. Chris is the best.
