Review summary

We savored excellent customer service, they even called and left flowers in our room as a follow up to an issue we had which was resolved within the day.

The staff, from room service to dining areas were always positive, upbeat and helpful.

The food was excellent and we were quite pleased that each menu offered vegetarian choices. There was even a vegan menu. The dishes were artistically presented.

The muster drill was extremely clear, easy to follow, took appropriate time and left no room for any misinterpretations - far superior to a competitor's which we went on prior.

The nightly entertainment was magnificent, and we were especially thrilled with the "BB King Musicians" who played awesome dance music.

We very much enjoyed our excursions as well.

My wife and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary as well as my birthday during the cruise. They did an awesome job celebrating with us in the dining room.

The room stewards were awesome, and also quite masterful & creative at towel animal designs.

Ship tip

It's an older, quieter crowd than Carnival, which as an older couple we both very much appreciated.

Here we hailed a taxi and enjoyed our private tour. It was awesome and fascinating. It was really exciting setting foot on a new continent.
