Review summary

Enjoyed every single second of this cruise. Each destination was absolutely gorgeous!! This was our first cruise and we were very impressed. Will be taking more cruises in our future! We loved the variety of things to do onboard and flexibility of disembarking at ports. Drink package was well used, but not explained well even though we asked at least 5 people what our package included (no one gave us the same answer twice). Great staff and entertainment!

For the most part, each staff member was pleasant, cheerful and always smiling.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Common areas were obviously updated and looked great.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Having a balcony was a nice touch and extension of space since the rooms can be quite compact at times. Rooms could definitely use some updating. We were rarely in the room since there is so much to do. More options on TV would've been nice.

Ship tip

Would've been nice to receive daily planners ahead of time rather than late the night before the next day. Can wait and plan excursions once on ship. King and I dining experience is fun (get dressed and up and be waited on), but food is only fair. Windjammer food was good and variety was great!
