Review summary

Overall good experience but could have been better. Highlight and thing that made it special was Darren Dowler, performer extraordinaire. Cruise director Natalie was awesome. These two were the best ever on any cruise.

Lengthy but ok.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Sit down Restaurants excellent. Buffet average. Pizza was great? Ice cream very average. Italian and sushi excellent.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Hot tubs were fun and scenic. Pools were a little cold. Danced to the party band. Very good band and piano player.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Highlight of the cruise was Darren Dowler. He’s a well known singer, guitarist, impressionist and film actor. Truthfully he might be the best performer I’ve ever seen live. He’s performed with big famous bands and been in a lot of movies. There was also a comedian named Oscar who was good. Funny guy. Production shows were typical cruise shows. Some of the production performers were ok.

Children's Programs

2 out of 5
Could use better kids programs. Very limited. Not many kids though.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Cruise director Natalie Costa was my favorite CD in over ten cruises. It was nice to have a pretty female cruise director. Normally they are gay males with wayyyyyy too much estrogen.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship was nice. Elegant. Though it seemed there were some broken and non working things.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Had standard balcony cabin. Clean, comfortable, shower too small. Fridge not real cold.
