Review summary

Smaller ship. This ship will be doing the world cruise. Our opinion, this ship good for shorter sail such as 5-14 days. Would have cabin fever on longer cruise.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Very poor since it was first trip out of Tampa for Serenade after coming back from Alaska/LA voyages. Perhaps now they have figured things out better.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
MDR food continues to be mediocre at best. Servers do all they can to make up for what ingredients lack. We did not use any of the specialty restaurants.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Our niece enjoyed the late night dance club on deck 13. We enjoyed Solarium pool since main pool was very crowded & ladder getting out bottom step not easy to maneuver since having knee replacement.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff is excellent on this ship. They do all they can to accommodate needs.

Ship Quality

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Comfort & cleanliness is good. Not sufficient grab rails in tub/shower. Although this is Sky Class Suite. Serenade does not honor all the perks for Sky Class such as free Wi-Fi. We were surprised & disappointed by this.
