Review summary

We were fortunate to have great weather. Crew members were always courteous and helpful. There were many choices for excursions for all types of physical abilities. I would have liked to see a separate singles activity time each day, separate from the alternative lifestyles group. Thanks for a fun time.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

It was pretty slow, but efficient once started.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Cagney's had a bad waitress which made our meal very, very slow, but the assistant maitre'd helped make it feel better.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

"We enjoyed the spa and the swimming pool. But check your ads. Some say "2 pools.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Great aerialists/acrobats/contortionist. Music too loud for the Star dancers. I really don't want to lose my hearing, so I covered my ears. Not the most comfortable.

Children's Programs

no kids on board

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Room steward did a fine job for 5506. Cagney's needs to have consistently good waitresses or waiters. La Cucina fine. El Bistro was superb.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

We were without a working toilet for hours because someone down the line stopped up theirs. Poor design??? Need to fix public restroom toilets quicker, too.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Everything was fine, except I didn't expect to have to look through a small tunnel to see out the porthole. Next time I won't get a cabin so far toward the front. Hopefully, that will help.
