Review summary

This is the third time we have done this itinerary, and this was definitely the best experience...the places stay the same but this exceptional crew treated us like family.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

The Security Screening Process Was Crowded and Confused... Only bad experience in entire cruise

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Buffet and Giovanni's were uniformly excellent. We avoid the main dining room because it is time consuming and limited in it's menu.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Both the on-board entertainers and those joining the cruise were great entertainers.

Children's Programs

NO kids

By far the most helpful and genuinely friendly staff from the Captain to the Room Steward.
