Review summary

Terrific Itinerary with excellent service for the most part. We had a wonderful vacation. the tour guides were excellent, the ship was really nice, the service was excellent. The only glitches were the waiting times to get back on the ship at the Tender ports. Otherwise the trip was excellent.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Club Orange for Neptune suite holders was excellent, as was our experience at Pinnacle grill and Tamarind specialty restaurants.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Fitness center was modern and well kept.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
entertainment was adequate but the Rolling Stones lounge and BB Kings lounge were very good.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Rotterdam had the best overall service from our Stateroom attendants to Neptune Lounge Concierges, to Club Orange restaurant staff.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Ship was well kept overall.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Excellent and we really enjoyed the extra large Balcony. We slept with our outside cabin door partially open for the fresh sea air on many of the nights. It was most refreshing. The bed was comfortable, the suite was well planned with plenty of space overall and storage.

Ship tip

The have it all package is a necessity, and sign up for Club Orange if you do not have a Neptune suite, It will be worth the extra cost.

We were first off the ship as we had an early flight. Our luggage was waiting for us, and we hired a porter to take us to the taxi.
