Better than most cruises. Very refreshing change from beach destination type cruises. Ship was beautiful and well laid out. Way more positives than negatives, Crew was also a step above average cruise ship crew.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Good variety of resturants. We ate in seven different ones for dinner and non really knocked our socks off. Food was good but not memorable. Service was better than the food.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We attended a lot but it was necessary to have a reservation to do the best ones like the go karts. Couldn't get on till last night and quite frankly they were a dissapointment after waiting so long. Found out that Heaven suites had unlimited passes for the week and others purchased weekly pass so open spaces were limited.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Big shows excellent. Others not so much.

Children's Programs

Teen club nice hangout for teens but located right next to very expensive video area. Cost my family lots of bucks.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Sincerely friendly. Best cruise director Soozy that we ever had in 30 years of cruising.
