Review summary

We had a blast! You make your own experience. We met so many wonderful people- staff and guests. A great time! Staying in a suite was the icing on the cake. Get the drink package, well worth it even if you are not a big drinker, includes water, premium coffees and other perks. also, we got the picture package.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We have been on many ships and found that recently the dining room food has gone down quite a bit in selection and service. It was pretty much the same selection of food every night. By the third night we stopped eating in the main dining room and ate in the Windjammer instead. The slow service was certainly not the fault of the hard working wait staff, I think they have cut back so much on the number of servers, they just simply can't keep up. Food was usually not hot and took forever to get served. The Windjammer however was great huge selection!!

Entertainment

1 out of 5
Again, we have cruised a lot and the y have really cut back on the variety of entertainers. The lounge acts and bands were OK, but the Dance Shows in the Main Theater are an embarrassment .( But that is a whole cultural thing.) For me to watch a so so group of dancers prancing around to prerecorded tracks was painful. Everything was prerecorded, including most of the voices. how anyone can believe that is real is beyond me.

A suite is the only way to go!!!! Ours was out of sight!! If I could give it 10 starts I would!

Ship tip

Casino is not much. Few choice of machines. But you make your own experience, We loved it. Sorry to be so negative about the dance group, but it is not real music or singing ( well sometimes a few of them actually sang) . How can you not like a crise?

Which suite were you in? Did you have a lot of noise from the Windjammer, being it is located right above the suites? Was there a special area for breakfast for Suite guests? How was the Concierge Lounge?
