Review summary

It was an amazing cruise, relaxing when you wanted, but with great shows, musical events, comedy shows, activities, and dinning! Would do again. We had no issues with illnesses while on board.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Good variety of food, delicious desserts, but what impressed us most was the service at the Amalfi Main dinning room!

Dining Room

5 out of 5

Dinning room was clean, food was very good and always hot, and the service was second to none.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
There was always something going on throughout the ship, from lectures, dance classes, bingo, instrument lessons, etc!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The nightly shows, comedy shows, deck parties, etc., kept those interested passengers going non-stop! Awesome time.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Best service seen to date. Great teamwork and care of onboard guests.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Ship is older and in need of TLC/ drydock, but the crew kept it together and we did not hear of any complaints or issues that weren't corrected in short order.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Cabin was a little small, but worked for our needs. Sleeps 4, but the upper bunk beds were not as comfortable as the lower ones. Cabin was always clean and had USB ports on each night table lamps. Electrical plugs were at the desk and bathroom. TV had a great variety of movies, but not on demand.

Ship tip

Don't over pack, there are coin laundry facilities onboard (buy special coins at customer service).

Very nice island and enjoyed our tour. Tour guide was very entertaining and proud of his island. After our tour we reboarded our ship.

Lahaina, Maui

5 out of 5
Beautiful island and tour. Visited the interior of the island, a plantation, and mountain side park. On our return to the city, we had lunch and shopped around with the family. Awesome place!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We were in group 1, pretty much walked off when our group was instructed to do so. Customs and immigration was quick and smooth. Great experience at this port!
