Review summary
This was our 1st cruise and was exactly what we wanted it be. smaller more relaxed ship and we were graced with amazing weatherEmbarkation
Check in and boarding was easy. Had a 1200 assigned time but got there about 1000 a And was allowed to Check in and board early. Was busy was getting on and do not like that they direct everyone towards the buffet or customer service desks. I'm not a fan of large crowds so asked a very nice crew member for a better place to get away for that and get a drink. We were then advised that the pool deck and bar there were open so that's where we headed. What a relief it was almost empty of people and on top of bar open they also had a small buffet open😀. Grabbed a couple drinks , small snack plate and found a couple lounges to sit back and watch the game off party
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Buffet to me was very average and bland but that is how I find most buffet. We mostly just used it to grab snack foods like meat, cheese and veggie.
Cagneys and moderno were both very good ads was the main song room and savor
Onboard Activities
This is a smaller ship so didn't have as many things as the larger ships- no slides, race track, vr rooms or laser tag. But since this trip was just hubby and me to relax and enjoy our anniversary that is more what we wanted.
Hot tubs were nice I the mornings and later evening and not crowded during those times. Bowling was great fun even though I am no good at it 😜casino was also nice
Entertainment
Only did one real show. It was aerialists and I thought it was a very good show especially as that was our roughest water night.
We enjoyed the small venue music and also the fun shows in both the atrium and observation lounge
Service and Staff
Ship Quality
Cabin / Stateroom
We had a mid ship balcony suite. Roomy enough for us both and the balcony was nice.
Ports of call
Really love this town so much to do. Underground, mariners or Seahawk games, space needle, airspace museum, aquarium just to name a few
We are from Oregon and have family in Seattle area so are here about once a year.
