Review summary

I had a great time on the cruise. Unfortunately, I had a bout of gastrointestinal problems midway through the cruise, and it caused me to miss an excursion I paid for and several meals. Despite this issue, I still had a great time visiting places I have never been. I flet that I had enough time in the ports of call to explore the areas nearby. The crew was excellent: friendly, helpful, and dedicated to making my experience an enjoyable one.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Dinner in the "King and I" dining room was excellent. Our dinner wait staff, Herberth and Lopez, made our trip especially memorable. They treated my grandchildren extra specially, making chocolate milk for them and getting them special desserts. Food in the Windjammer Cafe was also very good, although I suspect it may have been something I ate at lunch one day in the Cafe that caused me gastrointestinal distress.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Having a window cabin made my cruise experience much more enjoyable than last cruise, when I had an interior room. The two grandkids and I who shared the cabin had plenty of room to store clothes and move around.
