Review summary

Overall , great ports and service. I would love to have more time in Croatia. Shows are ok , not a lot of variety after the main shows. Love the Asian night - hopefully more over asian will be served like- korean , vietnamese and filipino dishes. Will suggest smaller portions but flavorful and less salty for guest to enjoy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We cruised a lot with different other ships. Slightly disappointed on Captain's nights menu- was looking forward for some special dishes like- lobster or escargot. Love the creme brûlée and the selections of fruits. Will suggest Filipino dishes on Asian night but keep the ensaymada. Some of the main dishes little salty for my taste.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

I like the variety of main shows with the dancers but theres no other shows after the main show for ex comedy shows. Would like to recommend more of Zumba classes and different time of the day as well.

Entertainment

Great dancers and singers.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Got our friend upset with Leondra White from the bar in O sheehan's. My friend asked for a special drink mixed that was given to her before and when she asked her she just told her a flat no and that my friend does not know how to order drinks. I know this did not happen to me but when my friend came back from our table she was very upset. Otherwise- the rest of the staffs are great and attentive.

Tender - so get up early if you did not booked an excursion with the ship. That's the only part I really hope that they can find a way to make it easier for guest to get their tender tickets without getting up early and wait until 8;30 for the tickets.

Agree about the variety of shows, on our 7 days there were 4 production shows, one male and one female singer, and a magician with his contortionist wife! Disappointed to sail from Dubrovnik at 1pm, not enough time.
