Review summary

Great relaxing cruise. My DH and I both needed to decompress and cruises allow us to completely unplug. We didn't make it to a lot of activities, we did mainly trivia, but there were so many things offered. We spent most of our time lounging, reading, and napping near the pools.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

It was super fast. We were on the ship about 15 minutes after arriving at the port.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

This was the first time that we ate only two meals in the MDR. It was beautiful though. MDR: We only had one dinner and one lunch in the MDR. Giovanni's Table: AntiPasti was amazing and the scallops were great. Chops: Isabel in Chops was fantastic, knowledgeable, kind, and cheerful. She really made our time special. The food was incredible, as usual. Windjammer: This was a star on our cruise! Not only is the space beautiful, but the food was consistently great. They had killer chicken fajitas. There was only one night in the Windjammer that the food was less than stellar. The last night of the cruise there was flank steak and a mongolian style wok. The Pool Bar: Drinks were very inconsistent but staff was nice.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We used the main pools and solarium. We saw many families enjoying the shuffleboard.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We only went to see the comedian (Dean Austin) but he was wonderful and one of the highlights of our trip.

Children's Programs

We did not bring children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our room steward Rey was fantastic. Jatin in Schooner Bar was incredible. Isabel as I mentioned before is also wonderful. Claudio in Windjammer was super helpful.

Ship Quality

I never saw much to complain about.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

It was perfect size for two of us. It was quite clean.

Ship tip

This is a great ship for relaxation. It also has a lot of deck chairs on 5 so you can enjoy the open deck. It doesn't have a lot of the bells and whistles of the newer ships but it is incredibly nice, clean, and has a ton of activities. Give yourself time to explore the ship. There's a lot of cool artwork.
