Review summary

This cruise was great. I would do it again. If I was to put any negatives down there would be 2. 1st is the elevators are very slow and packed. We do not mind taking the stairs but sometimes we do not. 2nd is the beer. They are 12 ouncers and $8.34 per beer. The other ship I went on were 16 ounce at a lower price. And the bars were always packed and hard to get a beer. These 2 things would not deter me from this ship again. We loved it.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

It was good except I showed up at 09:30 and was in boarding group #1 and I think 90% of the people there were bronze members so we were way back of the line.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food was excellent. we ate in the buffet for breakfast and the Summer dining hall for dinners. The beer was expensive for 12 ounce cans. Other ships have 16 ounce beer for less. Not a deal breaker though.

We went to a show every night and some during the day. They were all very good.

Service and Staff

They were great. We were served by Sunil and a lady that I cannot remember her name at the Summer dining room. The best service I have had.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

We had 3 of us in this cabin. there was plenty of room for an inside cabin. The beds were comfy and the shower was huge. The only negative would be the toilet position. I am a short man and my knees hit the wall. I could only imagine how tall people feel. LOL.
