Onboard Activities

Terrible. Nothing to do. Pool deck had piped in Beach Boy music all day. Crows Nest had dj music. Very boring. Piano player and singer were not very good.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Good pianist and violinist. Flukiest was fine. Other shows were not good. Three nights they didn’t even have any live entertainment.

Service from the staff was very good.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Design was fine. Staff does not encourage passengers to use hand sanitizer at restaurants.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Ample closet space. Housekeeper was excellent. However, for 12 of the 14 days we had no shower! Staff came up to fix it several times but never had it operable. Had to use public shower upstairs everyday!
