Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Not really needed due to the ports.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Fly Boys were excellent. Some of the other acts were low budget and cheesy.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Dave and Indrasen were in the dining room and provided excellent service and also provided us with great information about the next port.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship is older and smaller, but clean and well kept. You appreciate the smaller ship since some of the ports are small and that means less tourist and not as crowded.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We were lucky and was on the correct side of the ship for all of the best views. Balcony is a must for this cruise.

Ship tip

This cruise is only once a year. It was hot and humid. We brought our own water bottles which helped to cut down on buying water.
