Review summary

Great cruise! Was worried about the amount of people on the ship after taking river cruises but the ship never felt crowded. The rooms are spacious with plenty of storage. I did like the room set up of the Avalon rooms better with the beds facing the windows. The food is fine - nothing special. Food on the Avalon river cruise was better and more unique.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Afternoon tea is wonderful. The wait for food and beverage at Mamsen was awful. There needs to be more beverage stations around the ship - it would be nice to have coffee and tea available in the Explorer’s Lounge.

Onboard Activities

Take advantage of the spa amenities.
