Review summary

This is an adult cruise line so their shows had very adult themes in them. You must have a working smart phone to deal with their ship app which controls everything. An ipad is in the room to control curtains, lighting, and TV. They are trying to be trendy and one should not be prudish being on board.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
They kept us waiting till our exact embarkation time and then it took a bit of time until we got our fob and were able to get on the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
No Main Dining Room--all restaurants with a "galley" food area that was passable. Restaurant food was good to excellent--especially the Test Kitchen.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
swimming pools and jacuzzis (without bubbles), game areas, fitness centers, special events with magic and gastronomy.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
amazing, but very adult themes. Dancers, acrobats, and singers were all excellent. Too bad no actual stage bands for shows

Children's Programs

adult cruise

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
generally excellent. They took care of us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Quite clean and nice

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We actually got upgraded to a balcony cabin with the hammock. Nice to have the balcony. Room was a bit small, the bathroom was a postage stamp--very tiny!!

Ship tip

Have a smart phone for the app or you are dead!

great island and culture

Port Said, Egypt

5 out of 5
Great to see the southern part of Egypt.

Dubai, U.A.E.

5 out of 5
Dubai has built even more since I was there last.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
They drove me nuts about their protocol to leave the ship, but in the end it was fast and easy.
