Review summary

Great cruise. I found some towns that I would enjoy returning to for a longer visit

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation computer system was not working causing major delays in getting on the ship. It was organized but just delayed

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food and drinks are always great on a cruise. A great variety of food on the buffet

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Many enjoyable activities on the ship. Fitness center was excellent. The only real negative was that the hot tubs were not hot. Many days they were just luke warm, never at a temperature that you would expect a hot tube to be

Entertainment

4 out of 5
All of the stage shows were great except one. The comedy was funny and clean (family). The musicians were excellent and very entertaining. One of the musical stage productions was disappointing. Although it exhibited a lot of talent and energy, I personally was not pleased with the excessive sexual motions and content. Other than that one show, ALL of the other entertainment was great!

Children's Programs

Had no children on the ship

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
There's nothing like being waited on "hand and foot" on a cruise ship. That's one of the great things about this cruise

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We originally booked an ocean view (unobstructed) stateroom. Before the cruise I had placed a bid for an upgrade. My bid was accepted and we placed in a mini-suite balcony. Even though this room was directly above one of the nightclubs on the ship, we heard no noise that would keep us awake at night. The selection of the upgrade was great, however, I did learn that if you bid for an upgrade, you have no choice to make any changes to their selection

Cruise Amalia Glacier

5 out of 5
The glacier was spectacular. I had never seen a glacier (other than on TV or Video). The ship's captain maneuvered the ship so that we had a spectacular view from our balcony.
