Review summary

The Ports were not disappointing but our Grand Suite experience really dampened the cruise by not allowing us to stay asleep or get to sleep easily with all the noise from the Windjammer above us. Paid for the Grand Suite experience as we always do and got the level of what we consider the cheapest room on the ship because of this

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Really good. We are used to getting separate treatment as a Diamond Member and Grand Suite holder but this was pretty smooth and quick

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

The main dining room really was quite enjoyable this time. Dominic and his crew just always went out of their way to make us happy with all the food and service and special requests

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Nothing really. Not much we enjoyed. The Pool is pretty much designed for younger people and of course the ship is small so we don't get our private area so tough finding a good lounge

Entertainment

Didn't see anything we were interested in. The bigger ships put on such great shows and this one was pretty limited

Children's Programs

No Childred

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

There isn't enough we could say about Dominic's dining room staff. The Private restaurants, Chops and Giovanni's were also above parr and our room steward was the friendliest and best we've had

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Old ship needing a lot of work. While having dinner in the main dining room there were windows so bad you thought you were looking out at very dirty windows. Other areas on the ship the same way. It was clean but the ship needs serious help

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

This room is right under the Windjamer and starting at 4 am and well into the night the noises were constant with things being moved, etc. We were not advised of this when we booked the room and feel we should have been told or discounted because of this. We did complain to the Conceirage but with no results and so we had to deal with it for the full 12 days.
