Review summary

For the value it's a great ship and tour. For a big ship they do a wonderful job. I get tired (somewhat) of the nickel and diming so from now on I'll take all inclusive cruises. But they do a great job for the money.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

The quickest I ever got on a ship. They hire many people to keep things moving.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Getting a table for two in the main dining room is silly. They put you at tables 2 inches apart so it's very uncomfortable. Food is good in main dining room and specialty restaurants though. Food in the buffet is like hospital food.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

There are lots of activities but I don't like to do most of them. Too much like summer camp

If you expect the town to keep you engaged without going on excursions you are in for a surprise..... unless you like jewelry stores and crappy souvenir shopping. Take the excursions out of the port
