Review summary

Unfortunately, I broke my hip playing pickle ball within two months of this cruise. However, regardless of having to use a walker, we could not have had a better time. We fell in love with cruising and will always be grateful to our friend who suggested we book this cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We had nothing to compare it to so thought it was perfect.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Since this was our first cruise, we were blown away with the dining choices. All of the food was delicious!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We are not into sophomoric games, but I liked the knitting group, and my husband like the sudoku.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We loved the ship's singers and dancers, comedians, ventriloquist, and guest speaker.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

From our cabin steward to our waiters, we felt pampered and very well taken care of in every way.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

We live on a very small island so were a bit overwhelmed at the size and interior design of this ship, but we loved it all.
