Review summary

If you drink even a little, do the bar tab. The best part of the cruise was no kids.

Embarkation

It was easy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

There is a limited selection at each eatery and specialty restaurant. Some of the eateries in the gallery close at 3 pm. The best food items were the brioche bread and garlic butter, the omelets, french toast, ice cream, and pizza. They did run out of some toppings early on the 2nd day of the cruise. Soda being included was great.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

They didn't have a lot of scheduled activities such as trivia or karaoke etc. The best things were the arcade with video games from the 1980s which was free and the groupie. The groupie is a private room you sign up for and do karaoke in.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Anything that needs to be booked- book early because they fill up fast. If they don't require to be booked show up early as it is 1st come, 1st serve with limited seating capacity. The dancers and the diva/ drag queen were excellent. The bands and solo singers that were on this sailing had 2 sets every day but they played the same songs every single set.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Bar service was slow. Most of the staff was great. Only saw our room steward on embarkation day.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Someone was always cleaning somewhere

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

This was an ada accessible cabin. Doors would be better with push buttons so they open and close hard-to-close door when in the hallway in a wheelchair. I went with my sister and we had the beds separated. The frames were set low to the ground if too far off the edge while trying to transfer into my wheelchair, the opposite side of the bed would come off the floor. I felt as if I was going to end up on the floor. The mattresses are not comfortable.
