Embarkation

5 out of 5
easy fast and painless

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Main dining room was good as expected but Giovanni's was fantastic. Windjammer had the usual casual eats. but there local dishes when in different countris were very good unfortunatley desserts in the windjammer were really a let down

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
daily games were fun. the usual trivias and variety shows were good. the nightly main shows. were only average. maybe i have just been spoiled by royal shows on newer ships with bigger theatres and better stages.....the classic newly and nearly newly wed game was amusing

Entertainment

3 out of 5
overall entertainment was average

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
staff were excellent as always. royal staff are always so helpfull and friendly

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
the ship was very clean and tidy. but it is showing it's age with little thing throughout the ship and in the cabins

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
easily the smallest cabin on the ship difficult to manouver around the bed..the tv gets in the way both getting into the cabin or getting around the bed. rust at the base of the shower noise from the utility room right next to cabin...the saving grace is that it was centrally located and close to stairs making it easy to get a tea and snack from the cafe or diamond lounge

Ship tip

make sure it is the destinations and not the ship you are going on vacation for
