Review summary

Please refer to the comments section of each of the ratimg questions for complete information as to how we felt about different aspect of the cruise. Barring the food, the Room Service Sign and the check in process no major issues worth mentioning. I did love the magic show n the stand up comedy n the acrobat shows.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Too much walking back and forth to different check in points. My mother has difficulty walking so it was not convenient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Most of the food was quite bland (even the ethnic stuff). No offering of Halal options.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Fitness centre on the 12th floor (the wobbliest of all floors) was a bad idea.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Loved the stage shows.

Children's Programs

No children with us.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
They were all really good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The service staff was very efficient, effective and ON THE BALL!!!

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It was comfortable enough but cramped. The window was not clean. Otherwise everything else was very neat n tidy and welcoming.

Ship tip

The sign for "Welcome", "Make up My Room" and "Do Not Disturb" is not good. ANYONE can change it and mislead ppl. Many times it was changed by fellow passengers from Do Not Disturb to Make Up My Room when we were sleeping inside. Please look for alternative methods as this is a safety and privacy concern.

Ports of call

Vancouver (Canada Place), British Columbia

3 out of 5

Thanks for your review. You’re asked when you book if you have any specific dietary requirements so pass that along next time. Unfortunately the older ships you can’t control the do not disturb from your room but it’s terrible other passengers did that!
