Review summary

Living in Colorado this was a Bucket List vacation. And it did not disappoint. I greatly appreciated the single fare which i was able to get.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
We had received a time to board, but that time did not seem to mean much. We could have boarded earlier like we prefer to do.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
As an Elite Cruiser, I have noticed the food quality go down. It is still good, but not so special anymore. Some of the meats in the MDR were very tough.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Trivia was fun. On board lectures were good. Would have liked more. And fewer silly things like those game show types.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All good. Would have liked to see the Irish comedian in the main theater not the smaller venue.

Service and Staff
