Review summary

This crusie gave me the opportunity to learn where we would like to go and visit longer.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
The embarkment experience was fast once we got onto the ship. It was a processes getting there though

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food and drinks were good. I was surprised at the upcharges in the dining room and the fact that the buffet closed at 9 p.m., with only sandwiches available after hours. The cruise offered room service, but again, there were upcharges for restaurants that were free during the day.

Service and Staff

The staff was amazing friendly, helpful, and always smiling

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was clean and well maintained

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
The cabin was a bit smaller than I was used to. One of the beds that we had to use was right above the main bed. Several times, we hit our heads on the bed. I felt like a giant using the very tight shower/tub.
