The onboard activities on sea days are numerous: arts and crafts (which are phenomenal), pickleball, abs class, tai chi, body conditioning, coffee with the cruise director and special guest, walk a mile, meditation, sit/knit and needlework with Project Linus (made over to 300+ blankets), morning devotions, tech for travelers (excellent!), art class, port talks, dance classes, bridge classes, guest lecturers, health seminars, singles and solos meetings, trivia, drawing class, mahjong, shuffleboard, afternoon movies, game time, afternoon stretch, PRIDE meet-up, footprint and posture analysis....those are the sea day events. Then add the evening entertainment, and you have quite a schedule! The ports talks are recorded and provide good information.
Pros: The crew are the BEST in the industry. They work hard to remember you and your preferences, your name and to make the voyage as special as they can. The ship was not full which made it even easier to find your own space and enjoy the activities or spend quiet time.
Cons: Menus are substantial but food is not consistently hot or cooked as you prefer. Live entertainment (from off the ship) is four nights a week plus the singers/dancers on the main stage = five nights a week - then a movie and it may be dark one night or a cultural show. Entertainment was good to very good (there is also the Rolling Stone Lounge, the Billboard/piano players, Explorers Lounge and Ocean Bar trio). This ship was not built for a world cruise so closet space is limited. When you ask, they provide portable drawers and clothing racks.
