My Husband and In-Laws did this 8 day New Years cruise, Weather was fine, but a bit windy, water was cold at all the ports we went to, so we did not get to enjoy the water, it was hard to enjoy the pool area on the boat also, lots of families on the cruise, all the kids in the hot tub. We stopped at 5 ports so it was a busy cruise, the tendered disembarkation were a bit confusing and depending on the crew member you asked, they all gave different answers. Also no information on the weather was giving for each of the ports we stopped at so it was hard to plan ahead. The New years party was good, had a good time but not enough set-up professional photo screens, lines were crazy long. The ship general services were good, especially in food area, cabin crew was great. Sit down dinner food was not all that great, options were just OK. The Buffet was ok too, lots of options but seemed a bit bland, the paid dining was better but it was extra cost. The entertainment was really good and I like that they had different/guest entertainers so it was not same dancers/singers every night. Night club and other entertainment was also good around the ship. Don't think we will be doing this cruise again. especially at the same time of year.
