Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Windjammer Cafe

5 out of 5

This place was amazing and the service was the BEST on the boat. Every meal (we ate dinner twice) was fulfilling and the attention to detail of the service staff was exceptional.

Main Dining Room

5 out of 5

Very good meal with great service.

Onboard Activities

Pool Deck and games and dance parties.

Swimming Pools

5 out of 5

Pool Deck and Hot tubs were so good and relaxing.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Broadway Theater

2 out of 5

The shows on this trip were very disappointing. The opening night comedian was a major let down. The "Pure Country" was one of the worst hours in a theater I have experienced. This was the ONLY part of the experience that was very disappointing and before the cruise, all I heard about was how good the shows were.

Children's Programs

Did not have any kids with me on this cruise.

Video Arcade

3 out of 5

Very small selection of games and ARCADE games. Several of the big crane grab games.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room steward was BETTER than could be expected or anticipated. His attitude and attention to detail went WAY BEYOND what was probably expected but DID NOT go unnoticed. The service in the windjammer continues to impress me even after the cruise as i think about what all they did every time we had a meal there.
