Review summary

Good cruise but expected a little better I think, but just my opinion

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Arrived at port very early due to a very internal flight from Las Vegas, manager to check our cases in and took our hand luggage with us to a nearby restaurant for breakfast. When we got back to ship we were allowed into waiting hall and eventually boarded around 12 noon

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food was mainly average in dining room but must say on a couple of occasions we did have a very nice course. Breakfast was a little disappointing with not much choice and was very busy

Crooners Martini Bar

5 out of 5

Off all the bar staff they were the friendliest

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Seemed ok, enjoyed movies under the stars (even though it was cold)

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Really pleased with our waiters in the Botticelli Restaurant. Table 30 Freddy and Franco

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Cabin was clean and tidy, we had twin beds but did feel the slopped into the middle of the room. I do think more draw space is needed. Would not recommend this cabin based on its position. The anchor felt like it was coming through our walls and the side thrusters were very noisy when docking
