Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Hot food was cold at times. The chef has no clue on how to make simple stuff such as Ranch salad dressing or Tartar sauce.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The people who hosted activities acted knowledgeable.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Lots and lots of entertainment. Much better in this department than any other transatlantic cruise I have ever been on.

Children's Programs

Not traveling with children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Services where wonderful, room attendant needs to pay closer attention to the details such as ice requests.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean ship with only one exception.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin itself was a very good size for a ship. The balcony was not worth the extra cost for the “large” balcony.

Ship tip

Do not book deck 13. Loud chairs moving all night from pool deck above.
