Review summary

This was an excellent itinerary which lost 2 ports due to a massive storm. Captain did a fabulous job keeping us safe and still getting port days. Miraculously we only had one extra sea day. Guest services and Shoreex came through with replacement tours and the weather while in Port cooperated. Highly recommend this cruise.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Shows were very good. It would have been nice to have one comedian.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was good at their job. Guest services went above.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was nice. We like this type of ship with many separated bars. They fell more private than the big ships

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Perfect for this cruise at this time of the year. A balcony would have been zero extra value.

Ship tip

Be prepared for extra time if it is a tender port.
