Review summary
Overall it was a good cruise. Great crew and decent accommodations.Embarkation
Embarkation was easy. Lots of people available to help and keep people moving with minimal delays.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Selections at the Lido buffet were plentiful and nicely presented. The attendants were pleasant and helpful. The dining rooms were very nice. The dining room selections were average and nicely presented. Not any Wow, but very nice. Out waiter team of Afandi and Leonardo at table 199 were exceptional. They made our dining experience a joy by their attentiveness. Afandi would do well in any upscale dining establishment.
Onboard Activities
Very low keyed deck environment compared to other cruise lines. Very nice for we older people. It was easy to move around.
Entertainment
Shows were pretty much limited to dancing and singing. Not much variety. One good comedian and a mediocre comedian with a dog that was lackluster. The seats in the theater are not as comfortable as they could be for extended sitting through performances.
Service and Staff
Overall the staff throughout the ship were very pleasant, helpful and cheerful. The standouts were our dining room waiter, Afandi and our stateroom attendant, Aan.
Ship Quality
The ship is tired looking throughout. It needs to be renewed. It was clean and was always being cared for by crew members but it's just worn.
Cabin / Stateroom
The cabin was worn but comfortable and clean. Aan kept everthing clean in order. One day the toilet failed to flush for a while but that was fixed that day.
Ship tip
Do not expect the level of excitement or entertainment that you would find on some other cruises. If you are looking for a nice friendly and relaxing get away, this is it. We enjoyed it a lot.
