Review summary

Would I do this cruise again? Absolutely! Would I pick the same room? No. I’d spend the extra money for a suite so I could be in the room at the same time as my husband…

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very organized.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Le Bistro was favorite food wise but Onda was favorite overall. Staff at Onda were superb and food was quite good.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Did not use any of these activities. So really can’t rate.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Shows were very entertaining. The piano at the Champagne bar each afternoon/evening was a blast.

Children's Programs

No children in our party

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
From cabin attendants to wait staff in the restaurants and bartenders at most of the bars the service was above and beyond.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship was extremely clean and well maintained, but the new layout and design of the ship was not good at all. The thermal pool has been removed from the spa therefore one of the main reasons we would purchase the spa package has been eliminated.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The good news is we had a balcony cabin so one of us could step out of the room to allow the other to pass the end of the bed.

Ship tip

Plan small….small everything….
