It was such a wonderful cruise, our first, but I hope not our last. It was more casual than I expected and I was disappointed that the gala nights weren’t more gala and that the dining room wasn’t fancier and didn’t have live music and dancing, at least on gala nights. My Aunt used to cruise a lot with Holland and it was different then.
Embarkation

It was fine- long Line’s but they managed very well
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
3 out of 5
The food was okay, but not great. The buffet was generally crowded and not that well organized. The dining room was okay. I have a food allergy and they could have done a better job explaining how they wished to manage that. The first morning they delivered breakfast with a slice of the fruit I’m severely allergic to, in spite of my having filled out the form ahead of time and writing on the breakfast order that I had a severe allergy. This was a really serious mistake and I was very upset. It didn’t happen again but I didn’t feel that anyone in charge bothered to apologize.

They were good. The jets didn’t work properly on the hot tubs. The fitness center was fine. The spa was great.

Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
It was really good. It was more spacious than I had expected. There was only one plug but I had known to bring a power strip. The bed was good, bathroom was fine, and having a balcony was lovely.
