Review summary

Cruise started off with the norovirus and remained until the end, but the staff did the best they could - so extra "washie Washie". Overall we enjoyed the cruise and and all of the ports of call.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Only about a 25 minute wait in the line to go through security - then check-in right on the ship.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We selected the $50 off excursions and took advantage so we were off the ship at every port. I did enjoy the one cent slot machines they had on board (I played for hours on $20). We were never bored even on Sea Days.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Most of the shows were entertaining, but the last night they had a violinist that didn't interest us.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
We have had better room stewards, room was made up OK, but we had to keep asking for ice and we rarely saw our room steward. Dining room staff was good, we had no issues and one waitress was very good.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
For the most part all of the ships areas were clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom
