Super cruise. Ship clean, lots of activities, and rarely appears crowded. Was expecting an older crowd but found it largely 'my age.' That's scary. No smoking policy works great for me.

Food: As always, wait staff attentive tho overworked. The food was excellent. Appetizers varied from chicken wings to escargot. Dinner varied from comfort food to frog legs. Hand sanitizer use required in buffet. Buffet service good, seating often crowded and requires doubling up. It was easy to make reservations for anytime dining, and I didn't ever see too long a line for those w/o reservations.

Entertainment: We attend all the shows we can. The production numbers were reruns and not a good as larger ships, but excellent. The comedians were exceptional. 'Arni G' was the evening lounge player and he was so terrific, wish I could spend more time. Our favorite is the Crew Show. This was scheduled badly, 10pm the last night, in the Universe Lounge. It is true that there are many seats in this lounge (esp balcony) that you can't see the stage.

Cabin Review

Balcony

Our cabin was great, close to elevator. Could feel the hum of ship engine, tho not distracting. Could not hear the lounge below. The balcony was especially roomy (4 chairs + table), shaded, private, adjoined friend's balcony.
