Review summary
Over the service was great. Food was good and the ship was clean. Not everyone will play board games or read. would of liked to see more than 1 day of painting. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. Not a fan of the drink packages - I am not a drinker but my sister is .. she was not able to buy a Signature drink package that contains alcohol unless I did.Embarkation
Everything went smoothly, however I wish during the booking more information regarding Taxi service had a little more detail to help passengers make a better informed decision. Shore Excursion verse Taxi service.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
The main dining area was fantastic. We sat at Table 63 and like the fact that our dinner servers were assigned to this table throughout the duration. Waiter Yan Yan and Assistant waiter Syairi were professional, helpful, informative and kind. Loved the Origami's they would make for us at each dinner. Breakfast in the dinner was fantastic only wish we could of had our same servers from dinner for breakfast as well. Cafeteria or buffet was fine, the scrambled eggs at times were too wet and wished they had trays to carry your food to the tables.
Onboard Activities
Pools were ok just a bit small. Wish you did not burn your feet as you step to get into the pool The dive at the pool area had the best hamburgers.
Entertainment
Disappointed that there was no DJ. One of the piano players did not sing well and the band was ok. the dance show was great but heard one of the passengers say it was the same show they had seen a time before but with a different name. The comedian was great. Wish the casino was bigger long wait times to get on one.
Service and Staff
the staff was overall great.
Ship Quality
Clean and well maintained.
Cabin / Stateroom
The room was great, lots of closet space and we had a tub.
Ship tip
If your looking for a slow, relaxing ship this is your ship.
