Review summary

It was a wonderful first-time experience. We loved it so much we put down a future cruise deposit. Never expected to even go on a cruise because my husband gets motion sick very easily. He also had a wonderful experience...so maybe we will get to do this again some day!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We met our steward right away. His name is Cerry, and he was absolutely wonderful the entire week.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Amazing. But I bought a coffee specialty package, but had no info on the ship (once boarded) as to how to maximize it. Didn;t find the best coffee shop until 4 days in!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
pools, hot tubs, deck relaxation.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Absolute best was the comedian, AJ Jamal. Appreciated the clean (non-crass) performance. Oh man, was he funny!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our waiter was Sergundo from Peru. Absolutely stellar. And our room steward was Cerry. Again, absolutely stellar.

Ship Quality

Spot on.

The bed was amazing. I haven't slept pain free in years until this cruise. I will be looking for a similar bed in Canada.

Welcome to the cruise addiction. I personally hope there is no cure.
