R&R cruise to meet up with family who we don't see often.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Quick and easy. Straight to check in and onboard 5 minutes later.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
Buffet food has improved tremendously. Plenty of variety and it was hot. Only one vegetarian option daily though.
Beach House, super as always and the menu has changed.
MDR, didn't use as saver fare. Allocated 8.30 pm sitting and unable to change to freedom dining so used the buffet all the time.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Plenty going on although no films in the Tamarind Club etc which was disappointing.
Entertainment
4 out of 5
Lots to choose from but we didn't attend any shows as they're repeats of ones we've already seen.
Singer/ Pianist in the Metropolis was excellent with contemporary and uptodate chart music.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Staff were lacking but those we encountered were friendly and helpful throughout the ship.
Ship Quality
3 out of 5
The ship is easy to navigate but is looking very jaded. Lots of rust on display and buckets to catch water leaks everywhere.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Our cabin R624 was at the rear of the ship, a decent size with plenty of storage. Easy to access the lido deck and the buffet from it. It was very tidy compared to other balcony cabins we've had on the Ventura.
