Review summary

You will love the cruising around "the end of the world" but you may not find the ship to be on par with what you are used to.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Food in general was average. Food in specialty steak house was superb. Food in specialty Italian restaurant was terrible.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

The lectures on astronomy were superb. The guest lecturer was able to transform a very complex subject into easy to understand and entertaining talks.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Room steward was great. Staff in Vines wine bar very attentive and friendly. Many of the general staff need training on customer service.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Ship designed well. Noticeable absence of the constant cleaning of the ship seen on other cruise lines. In fact, took a picture on day two of numerous finger smudges on an elevator door. Same smudges there on day 14's disembarkation.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cabin and its service were well done.
