Jude did a great job and gave excellent advice. I did not rate the ports of call highly as they were boring.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

breakfast ordered was not always hot in the 4th floor; one time it was cold-butter would NOT melt on the pancakes. Specialty restaurant was the best!!!

Barry and Justin both did a great job.

I was NOT a fan of the guys and gals singing and dancing--give them a two.. Did give a five to comedian and tenor.
