Review summary

The weather was disappointing but we knew going so late in the season was a risk. Still enjoyed the cruise

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Better than expected after reading previous reviews. We had a 10:30 boarding time. Arrived around 10:15 and was on the ship within an hour

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Overall the food experience was great. The MDR was better on this cruise than previous cruises since the restart. All food was hot and fresh but it did seem to take longer than usual. Windjammer buffet was typical but good. No food complaints from us

Wonderland

5 out of 5

First time doing Wonderland. We had a party of 8 and were able to try all the appetizers. The food was different but good and the service was exceptional. Wonderful experience - definitely recommend to try if you are adventurous with food

Schooner Bar

5 out of 5

The staff at this bar was wonderful. Friendly and welcoming with exceptional service.
