Review summary

We were pleased with the ship, even though it is bigger than what we are used to. We enjoyed the cruise, but we decided eight days is not long enough.....

Embarkation

5 out of 5
we had no problems at all, and were on board before 1030.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Horizons was very good, although the menu was much the same every day. We ate there almost all the time, and enjoyed it. We were disappointed in the main dining room. Our waiter was a bit "over the top", and the food on the second night was completely lacking in presentation. We did not go back.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
we didn't do any of the activities, but the facilities looked great.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We enjoyed the shows and entertainers very much....especially the comedian.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff as a whole were very helpful and friendly.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was very clean and we could not fault it. Plenty of places to sit and read or just relax. Liked the idea of many tables and chairs on the pool deck.

Glad you had a good time. What do you mean by the waiter presentation was over the top? Compared to a serve yourself buffet, anything could be considered over the top.

You said you were on the ship before 10:30. What was your assigned boarding time? Ours is 1400
