Review summary

Great itinerary. Scenery is stunning. Included shore excursions were great although in big groups. Limo service to airport and back excellent. Ship size and design nice. Didn’t feel crowded. Unfortunately they are understaffed. Will return to sailing on Oceania. Food better and way cheaper.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Sat in lobby of crowded hotel for 8 hours with no sleep waiting to board. Was given breakfast and lunch. Then waited on line at pier.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Took almost three hours to eat dinner due to staffing shortages in main dining room. Since the buffet is turned into a specialty restaurant at night, options for dining were limited. Found the food too eclectic. Same pastries every day for tea. Does everything have to be deconstructed? Wines were good and plentiful.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

No imagination. Board games in the library was listed as an activity! Unable to use outdoor areas because of weather.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Butler and cabin steward were excellent. Room service was good but food Luke warm by the time it got to cabin.
