Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

While the food in the main dining room at dinner was outstanding, the food quality and choice in the Windjammer Cafe was only mediocre.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The nightly entertainment in the Tropical Theater was very poor. I left within a few minutes two nights in a row and the third I stayed but the show was not particularly entertaining.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

The head and assistant waiters in the main dining room were outstanding and the best of any cruise that I have been on. The stateroom attendent was also one of the best I've ever encountered.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

The perfect size and layout - easy to find one's way around, never too crowded-feeling, easy to disembark.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Plenty of storage, room to move around easily.

The local vendors near the port were incredibly pushy and did not take "no" for an answer easily. I hate feeling hounded to purchase something I do not need or want.
