Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The main dining room was superb - lots of variety and high quality choices, always served with excellent care and attention - buffet style. There were two specialty restaurants and both were very good and excellent service.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Excellent work out area and pool and hot tub - all were very clean and nice.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Very good for the most part - somewhat limited since it's a smaller ship. Would have helped to have more choices starting in the afternoon and after dinner, even if just movies on their big screen in the auditorium.

Children's Programs

No children on the cruise, which was very nice.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom
