Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The best food selections ever, very fresh and served the way we wanted it.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Fitness center is a bit dated and lacking new equipment. The pool is adequate for the size ship. We enjoyed the casino. The boutique was outstanding.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Very cruise oriented, average, nothing to brag about. The house bands were very average.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Never had such good service aboard a ship or to that matter anywhere else. All aspects of the ships crew were outstanding.,

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The cleanest ship I have ever been on at every level.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very clean and spacious. The outside veranda deck was very roomy.

Ship tip

Try to get Level 8 Veranda Stateroom with Butler service. Very quiet and service is spontaneous.

Disembarkation

Obviously, they need to move many people off the ship. A bunch of wait time experienced, but to be expected.
