Overall, I had a nice time. However, midway through the cruise I went to the Observation Lounge for a drink after dinner. The server came over to take my order, but then reminded me of the dress code. I was extremely confused as I was wearing a white blouse, black skirt, and heels. I asked him to clarify, but he just repeated himself. After bringing me my drink, I felt so uncomfortable that I left and went to the reception desk and asked the person on duty if what I was wearing was appropriate and she said yes. It's unfortunate this occurred, because it tainted the whole experience. I felt like I didn't belong there. I did reach out to the cruise line and they were empathetic and apologized, but I don't know if I will cruise with them in the future.
Embarkation
4 out of 5
I think it went well, but there seemed to be numerous check points.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Overall, the food was very good, but I was disappointed with their Italian restaurant, Sette Mari at La Veranda and some of the food at breakfast.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
I didn't really participate in any of the onboard activities, except for the fitness center twice. The personal trainer was excellent (hence the 4 stars, otherwise it would have been 3).
Entertainment
3 out of 5
Due to the "late" scheduling of most of the evening entertainment, I was only able to attend 2 shows, but they were both good.
Service and Staff
3 out of 5
Overall, the staff and crew members were wonderful...extremely courteous and professional. However, there was an incident (see summary below) that occurred midway through the cruise that had me lower their rating (otherwise it would have been 5 stars).
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Easy to get around the ship. All areas of the ship were impeccable.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Absolutely fantastic and extremely comfortable (bed was amazing). The cabin steward/stewardess were friendly, attentive, and efficient...they both did a great job.
Not crowed at all. I think we were the only cruise ship there. First time on a wave runner and I had a blast. Unfortunately, the ziplining wasn't fun or exciting.
Glad you enjoyed yourselves. Thanks for sharing your cruise with us. You went on the "Worlds most Luxurious Cruise". Seems like you looked nice to me? Try Princess.
