This cruise was a gift from our children, who also came along. We chose it because of the ports. We were please with the Embarkation process which was very smooth and efficient. We were happy with Port Liberty and its easy access by car. We also utilized the parking deck which was very convenient
The food quality and service aboard ship was very good. We enjoyed visiting the ports which were enhanced, for the most part, by the ship excursions which were interesting and informative. Entertainment and activities were very enjoyable, and entertaining. We frequented the lounges and the dancing venues.
I was, however, appalled by the Smoking permitted in high volume areas of the ship (on the pool deck and in the Casino). I actually found the air quality in these areas very irritating and offensive. I also felt that the Tender system was confusing and inefficient. We obtained a Tender ticket nearly two hours before our scheduled excursion, but we never arrived in time and missed a segment of our tour. I was satisfied that the customer service staff readily compensated us for our loss.
The cabin was always clean and neat. Jeremy, our attendant was very kind and helpful.
