Good value cruise! Freestyle dining is great. Know what to expect before you go. Most people have free at sea booze packages so you will wait a bit longer to get a drink.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
Line was long and took about an hour to board due to thorough checking of passports related to coronavirus.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Enjoyed the free-style dining concept. Very convenient to dine when and with who you want. The main dining room (Seven Seas) was comfortable with good atmosphere. Service was a little slow but that is expected with large volume. Specialty restaurants (Le Bistro & Moderno) were exceptional. Great dining experience in both.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Not a large amount of activity on a smaller ship. Took part in the wine and whiskey tastings which were enjoyable. Although covered on the beverage package there is a 20% gratuity charge. That is not uncommon on most cruise ships.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Only attended the illusionist show. It was a highly entertaining and humorous performance. Enjoyed the fact that it was only 45 minutes which left time for other night life.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Due to the size of the ship and the freestyle dining concept we really didn't get to know our waiters and bartenders, however they were all pleasant and professional. Our room steward, Nickolai, was very polite and the hardest working guy we saw.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
For a budget cruise it was a nice ship easy to get around. The common spaces were always clean and well maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Typical balcony stateroom. Would have enjoyed more closet space
Ship tip
Its a smaller ship and for the price, you can't go wrong. The specialty dining was outstanding.
