Review summary

The cruise was great. The captain made a call to not stop at Halifax due to weather. Thank you Captain Stringer, it was the correct call. The staff was so friendly and gracious at all times. I really appreciated the request to wash your hands at the washing stations before entering the lido deck buffet. Some people are just so impolite when beining asked politely. Those are the same people who will complain when they get sick.

Ship Quality

The layout is a little confusing on the aft end of the ship on decks 6&7. The restaurant block access to walk directly to mid ship. On deck 7 you can only access the starboard side.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The room was very comfortable and always clean. Thanks Ben. It is one deck below the list deck but under the outside portion. In the cold weather it wasn't much of a problem but in the warm weather it can be noisy from passengers moving deck furniture.

Ship tip

Get to the shows early for a seat. Not as large as most theaters. We would get there 45 minutes early. There are still people that don't understand about not reserving seats.

Easiest ever!!!!! Walked off with luggage. Only problem was accessing the elevators on a high floor. The elevators would get loaded with buffet dinners and skip the lower floors. Had to walk up to deck 16;to enter an elevator in mid ship with luggage to get to deck 6 to disembark.
