Review summary

This cruise was exactly what we were looking for - just some time to get away. The ship was clean and the staff was excellent.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was flawless!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Giovanni's Table dinner was delicious and waiter was attentive but not overly so. Food in the main dining room was much better than expected! We ate there OK pretty good but nothing to write home about. Then again it is a buffet trying to cater to as many tastes/diet requirements as possible.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Although we did not join any on board activities, we did very much enjoy watching the games and dance classes.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The shows were entertaining, the piano player in the Schooner Bar was enjoyable, the evening band in the Centrium were excellent!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Waiters (Marlon & Yudi) in Reflections dining room were wonderful. Can't say enough good things about them. Our room steward was very good.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

I felt the ship was very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The cabin was clean but small.

Ship tip

Remember if you are sailing out of Tampa you are going to be on an older smaller ship since the port (Sunshine Skyway Bridge) cannot accommodate the newer larger ships.
