Review summary

Overall a most enjoyable cruise! Loved the medallion.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

It was as expected! Even with the medallion the lines were long but was herded along smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Tables were quickly cleaned at the buffet, lots of friendly servers carrying trays of coffee, water or juice. We did the upcharge of $29 at the Crab Shack for dinner. A very nice experience for the family. Service and food was great. We dined in the Concerto Restaurant 8 out of 10 nights. We couldn’t have asked for better servers...they were fast, funny and friendly! We liked the variety the menu selection offered.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Family used the fitness center daily. Some guest assumed it was their personal gym!!!

Entertainment

4 out of 5

We saw 2 stage shows and enjoyed both. Tried to catch the comedian show...to crowded!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Paula was our steward for room A531. Very friendly and always cheerful! She kept our room clean n odor free. Avanish and Dan, our evening servers in the Concerto Restaurant became a part of our family. We enjoyed their humor, fast service, remembering our drinks and their smiles.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship was clean. Common areas also very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Balcony way smaller than other ships we have been on. That was a disappointment! Loved the flat screen tv on the wall fronting the bed. Our cabin was always kept clean, fresh towels, bed made by Paula, our cheerful cabin steward.
