Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I am gluten and lactose intolerant and the servers made a special point of telling me which items I could eat on the menu (always excellent food). They also brought me gluten free bread and soy milk. Much appreciated.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Alex is amazing, as a good pianist and singer, electronic specialist, and all-round helper. The staff had some genuinely good performers and Chris gave good talks. Limited offerings, but satisfactory.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Chris, the tour leader was informative and helpful, the wait staff and housekeepers were friendly and helpful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

No complaints about the room, which was compact but very efficient in its design.

Ship tip

Since this ship has been sold to another company, there's not much to say. Perhaps we'll take another cruise in it if the destination interests us and especially if the captain stays with the ship.
