Review summary

Great ports on a beautiful ship. Would probably take it again

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Mostly main dining room service was expedient but sometimes it was very slow. The buffet was a madhouse everyday with limited seating. The specialty restaurants were excellent.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

It was too cold most days to take advantage of any outside activities. As for indoor activities, we found them lacking and venues where activities occured were too small. Maybe they are trying to give you an intimate experience but when you have thousands on the ship, it leaves a lot of people out. We were told there would be a White Party though there wasn't anything in the daily program guide about it. The cruise director made a daily announcement and participated in one show that I saw him at otherwise absent. Too many children in venues that were billed as 18+ particularly karaoke.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

The Donna Summer show was great as well as the DJ in the Prima Theater. There was a show that included almost all of the musical performers that was good.

Children's Programs

No children
