Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We preferred the specialty restaurants and these were all wonderful both in food and service. Windjammer is a great place to have breakfast as they would provide any special items as well as coming at later times in the day. Staff kept the place immaculately clean and healthy.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Enjoyed the Solarium and the deck entertainment by the pools. Fitness Center was well kept with plenty of space and equipment.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We attended The Book and that was fine. Bingo was great on cruise days. We enjoyed the guitarist at the various lounges as well the pianist. The poolside band was great as we relaxed with drinks.

Acropolis was magnificent as we arrived when it opened but the antiquities museum was too long. The guide was excellent but we wished we had seen more of Athens. Lunch near the Acropolis was very nice
