Review summary

We enjoyed our time but will pick another cruise line for our next trip. Back to Royal Caribbean...

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Excellent! We had a penthouse suite so they greeted us and ushered us privately to the ship and we didn’t have to wait in lines.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
The food was flat out awful. We couldn’t wait to get to the shore excursions so we could eat some great food. We were incredibly disappointed with the ships food.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Not much to do on this ship. The performances in the Stardust theater were very well done however.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Excellent stage performances and the live band was fantastic!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent staff all around.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was very clean however it is very dated.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very nice suite and the services were excellent.

Ship tip

Don’t plan on eating very good food, and be prepared to pay extra fees for things like soda and then get hit with a $30-36 per day fee to provide tips to the entire shop crew which was ridiculous since we topped our butler and cleaning crew separately.

Ports of call

Venice, Italy

5 out of 5
It’s Venice! What else can you say? Lots to walk around and explore. Lots of rich history.

Kotor, Montenegro

5 out of 5
Loved this spot. Would go again.

Corfu, Greece

2 out of 5
Wasn’t worth the time. Didn’t like this stop at all very much.

Santorini, Greece

3 out of 5
Too crowded and not what the pictures make you think you will see.

Mykonos, Greece

3 out of 5
This was nice.

Argostoli, Kefalonia, Greece

5 out of 5
This was the best part of Greece! Absolutely beautiful!

Dubrovnik, Croatia

5 out of 5
Best stop on the entire cruise! The cleanest and best preserved city.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Very uneventful. No problems.
