Review summary

Enjoyed it. Relaxing. Pity I couldn’t buy a model ship. Out of stock again.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

There was a technical issue so boarding was slightly delayed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Main dining room was good. Not a fan of the crowded Windjammer. Best thing about the Solarium Bistro is it’s less crowded.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

I’m a fan of the Schooner bar. It was difficult to get a seat there unless you got there early. The entertainment was great. Maybe because it was cool outside, most venues were full.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Shows are similar to Quantum’s. Similar themes. Adults only comedian was hilarious.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Can’t fault the staff.

Ship Quality

Getting tired.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Same cabin as my last B2B cruise on Quantum. Close access to the lifts. It rattled around the balcony door frame. Hardly used the balcony because it was always wet from sea spray. Just unfortunate. Will still get a balcony.
