Review summary

Maybe best suited for elderly people, those who like to take the stairs and don’t enjoy buffets.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Great because we arrived late and went right in.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Horrible. Food looked disgusting and had no flavor, it also lacked in diversity. Best thing I had was the bread and butter.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Catered to the elderly. All trivia and even night clubs were 70’s and 80’s themed.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Shows were entertaining .

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Housekeeping and the buffet staff were amazing! Very friendly and great at their job.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Besides the fact that the elevators were always crowded , it was fine.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
AC in the room would constantly shut off throughout the night!

Ship tip

Bring enough cash for each port. The atm on the ship is $7

Bring a balloon on a string, a/c is motion sensor so if the balloon moves a/c stays on during the night? Read this somewhere…
