Review summary

We had a wonderful cruise but the weather could have been a lot better. The captain and the crew were wonderful.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
A really fast and no fuss embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food quality was sub par and the variation was really poor both in the main dining room and in Windjammer.

Wonderland Imaginative Cuisine

4 out of 5

All the starters were nice and had a great variety. The main course was unfortunately a disaster. The chicken was so dry it almost crumbled when I cut into it. And the food wasn’t even lukewarm. The desserts were okay. The service was excellent.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The own production shows are probably the best in the fleet. I loved both The Effectors and Showgirls. We also hade a great variety of guest entertainers. It was jugglers, ventriloquist, acrobats, singers of different kinds, magicians and so on.

Ports of call

Ponta Delgada, Azores

5 out of 5
Didn’t do an excursion since I have been here a couple of times before. Very easy to get off the ship and you are in the middle of the town.

Civitavecchia (Rome), Italy

4 out of 5
Didn’t see anything since we went straight to the airport

La Spezia, Italy
