Review summary

Overall an excellent cruise!

Embarkation

4 out of 5

I don't remember, but it must have been fairly painless.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

I had never been subject to a 3-course meal that was so elegantly done so that was fabulous! I remember the food was different, but good.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

I do remember having a lot of down time and just roaming the ship.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Entertainment was great!

Children's Programs

No small children in our group

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

I don't remember having any problems with any of the staff. Waiters at dinner were a hoot and entertained as well as served!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Small but served it's purpose. Who goes on a cruise to spend all their time in their cabin? Just used it to sleep in and dress in.

Ship tip

Don't expect the same level of entertainment as you get on a larger class ship. Obviously a smaller ship will not have as much to do. On that note, this was a great ship for someone who has never cruised before. Also, the main thing about the cruise that sticks out in my mind is the air conditioning. I FROZE anytime I was at dinner or at a show. I will bring a blanket for shows and probably dress warmer for dinners.
