Review summary

We were dockside at all of our stops and didn’t have to ride the tenders, that is a bonus. Tendering takes away from your shore time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was smooth and easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate mostly in the buffet and the food was fine. The few times we ate in the main dining room the food was good as well as the service.

Onboard Activities

Did not participate in any activities.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Saw an illusionist one night and a comedian another night and they were both very good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
All of the staff was kind and helpful and very hard working. Our room stewards did a great job and the staff in the main dining room ran like a well oiled machine. The staff in the buffet did a great job as well as the staff in the Crow’s Nest and in the Casino.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was easy to get around and they keep it shining like new money.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was roomy, bed was comfortable and bathroom was of adequate size.

Ship tip

The Crow’s Nest is the place to be when entering or leaving a port but you better get there early to get a good seat.
