Review summary

Disappointed in this cruise. Just not enough to do that didn't cost extra. Very hard to figure out was what included and what was not included when booking.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Embarkation was OK. Bit of a line but moved fairly quickly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Buffet was pretty good (for a buffet). Kept clean. Seating was sometimes a challenge if you went during the busy time. Too many specialty restaurants that charged a high fee. Would like to see more options that are included in the cost of the cruise.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Very few activities that weren't fee based. Main activity were the art auctions which were not that great.

Entertainment

Children's Programs

No children with me

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Clean. I know they purposely layout the design so that you have to walk through the shops (jewelry, portraits, gaming, etc) to reach your desired destination but it made for some long walks.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Size, cleanliness, comfort were all ok. Disappointed in the "oceanview porthole window". Will not spend the extra for that again.
