Review summary

The cruise was good and we would do it again. Listening to the two young pianists playing fun music on 2 piano 4 hands at Billboard Onboard was our favorite onboard activity.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Onboarding was quick and the staff very friendly. They seemed genuinely glad to have us on board.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The food was good with a wide variety. I wish something was open 8:30-10:00 PM for dessert, but things close then open again at 10:30, but that is late.

Onboard Activities

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We found our favorite entertainment were the two pianists in the "Billboard Onboard" program. Carson and Nathan were skilled musicians who could switch melody and harmony and primo and secondo seamlessly. They could head off on a riff effortlessly and the other would follow. They played by ear with only words and cords on their tablets. As a classically trained musician myself, I was very impressed. Besides, they looked like they were having so much fun. We tried to see them multiple times each evening. We attended other shows, but these two guys were the highlight of the entertainment onboard. This is the activity we have told our friends most about when asked about our cruise.

Ship tip

This cruise is targeted at an older crowd. If I was taking the family, I would choose a different line that had more activities on board.
