Review summary

Way too many people for me Will schedule another cruise on a ship this size again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Make sure you follow your embarkation time slot! They will not allow you into the building before your time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

It was the first time in over 20 years of cruising that we were told the buffets were full and we could not enter. They should have enough seating to accommodate all of the guests, especially on port days when everyone is trying to eat breakfast before they can disembark for their tours. In general the food was good and presented well.

Main Dining Room

2 out of 5

An inordinate amount of confusion with assigned seating at tables. Not well controlled at the entrances with people saving seats for their friends and moving to tables because they didn't like the location where they were assigned.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The shows were energized and inspired. Only the Voices had the sound turned up so high that the voices were distorted to the point that the voices were not distinctive.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Really liked the location of the cabin not too close to the elevators. 3 adults in the cabin with plenty of room and storage provided you put your stuff away.
