Review summary

I would not recommend this Cruise to anyone who wishes to travel with a younger family. It is focused for an older crowd with little to no activities. We feel the whole experiences was overrated as advertised.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Welcoming and Fluid.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Food experience was good, specially Toscana Restaurant. Polo Grill is over rated. The rest of the food was varied and good but the schedules were limited to two hours maximum in service.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

If you are traveling like us, a family with ages between 60 and 15 years of age, I would definitely not recommend this Cruise. It is catered directly to senior citizens. There was little if no activities for any of us.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

The only experience we were able to attend was the Violin Quartet.

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

We had a few issues with our Buttler, having to continually request for beverages and replenishing our mini bar of our Suite. We also experienced bad service in several locations with the waiters in different restaurants. It would appear they were in much needed rest. Not as courteous as we would have hoped for such an expensive cruise.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Needs to be renovated. Old design showing wear and tear from the years.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Cabin was fine and confortable except for had to request sheets to be changed as they were signs of foot prints on the sheets. Laundry service was poor.
