Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was excellent, especially in the specialty restaurant, Ocean Blue. The buffet was also better than expected.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Fitness center was great with plenty of machines available, even on sea days. The slides looked amazing, but it was too cool to try them out.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The Beatles Revolution was great. I loved their costumes and their songs. The comedians were great too, although one of them repeated his material from one show to the next. Footloose was wonderful and we were lucky enough to see the first performance. Unfortunately a main performer was injured during that performance and the show was cancelled for the rest of the trip. Elements was excellent and so was the Broadway Cabaret.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The Cruise Next person got our trip off to a great start by fixing an issue for us. The rest of the staff were efficient and polite.

Cabin / Stateroom

We loved our cabin! It was spacious with lots of storage. The bathroom was full-size with a bathtub and double sink. I would definitely choose this cabin again.

This was a very small town, but there was a trail system close to the ship which was lovely.

There was a storm and it wasn't safe to enter this port.

Disembarkation

We expected to be able to walk off the ship, pick up our luggage and go, but there was a monitor who did not let us enter the port for about an hour.
