Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food was excellent, enough variety. Was surprised all drinks were included (including alcohol) which was a big plus. Dining room options were good, able to eat in all three multiple times. Breakfast/lunch were great too. Lots to choose, flexible menus

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Many choices for excursions although some got cancelled. They were flexible with last minute changes. Pool was good (although they could use a few umbrellas), gym was smaller than desired but had good equipment. Steam room was nice. Wish they had a jacuzzi

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Lots of shows, crew show was the best, professional dancers were fun, gaunines shows were good too. Santa rosa band was decent.

Children's Programs

Did not take part in any program
