First time on a 10 day cruise. Really had a great time. I do feel like everything you do on a cruise is a sales job, but we still enjoyed it. Would absolutely do it again.

Ship experiences
Food and Dining

Enjoyed the food in all venues. Breakfast in the windjammer did get a little old after 10 days. Nothing ever changed. Specialty residents were good as well as the MDR.
Windjammer Marketplace
4 out of 5
Crowded but fair. Wasn't amazing but very do-able. Loved the Dog House for brats and hotdogs.
Cascades Dining Room
5 out of 5
Had dinners here and never had a bad meal. Wait Staff was excellent.
Samba Grill
3 out of 5
Too much food to really enjoy if that's possible. 8 courses of meat! We started splitting the courses between the two of us towards the end.
Giovanni's Table
4 out of 5
Loved the food there but had trouble with the service. Not enough staff and made it take way too long.
Chop's Grille
5 out of 5
Best lamb chops I've ever had! 16 oz bone in rib eye was also amazing.
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Spent alot of time playing games in the Schooner Bar. Also loved the piano sing alongs. Shout out to Agus and Midday. Best waiters on the ship. Never missed keeping our drinks full. I do think RC can do better for activities on long Sea days. Too much shopping lectures when I would rather have someone come on board and give a presentation on the Panama Canal or Columbia. Teach us about what we are going to see and do.
Entertainment

Enjoyed all shows. Great amount of talent on that ship.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Top to bottom, the crew takes care of you. They were great.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Older smaller ship with a serious lack of elevators. Specially when everyone is coming back from port days. We took a lot of stairs. Other than that, it was easy to navigate and always clean.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Smallest shower I have ever been in. Everything else was fine, no complaints.
Ship tip
Be happy about where you are and just enjoy the experience. Don't go looking for things to complain about.
Went there specifically for the Victorian architecture and it did not disappoint. Beautiful old homes from the 1800's. Spent extra days there just to explore and enjoy. Had good food at some very nice restaurants as well. Really enjoyed our time there.
Least favorite. "Best of" excursion was nothing more than a shopping trip on a very dirty island. Beach was crowded and not to impressive. Lunch was good.
