Review summary

Overall, for an older ship (I was concerned) it was very well kept and crew were amazing. I wish they would have left Vintages a try’s wine bar, no as good of selection of wines now. Plan to go on this ship again for sure.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Always easy to leave from Tampa although security line was a little slow this time, 1 scan line open. Once pass this it was very fast.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We purchased the ultimate dining package. Chops- good but steak over cooked. Giovanni-Excellent every one of the 3 nights we ate there and awesome service. Izumi sushi lunch also excellent- very busy, make a reservation. Did not eat in dining room. Room service food took long time and hot food arrived cold. Windjammer good selection
