Review summary

Nice, easy going cruise without a zillion people in every port. Didn't like losing valuable time in Quebec.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
I didn't like that porters came and grabbed my suitcase, carried it about 100 feet, then wanted a tip. I told him no but he was pushy.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Very nice. Long wait for the singing crepe man but he was excellent!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
Excellent massage but they tired to push products on me that I didn't want.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Good dancers, great violinists, great band with the national Geographic movie. Mediocre comedians. I would like to have seen a Broadway type production as I'd seen on a Carnival cruise.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Very attentive and helpful

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The jog from 4th to 5th floor to traverse the ship was always confusing.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
Very well kept up. A bit of noise in the hallway.

Quebec City, Quebec

Our time was severely cut short so we couldn't do planned activities. Poor excuse for doing so; they knew ahead of time and should have planned better.
