Review summary

This was the most disappointing cruise we’ve been on. Nothing interesting for 21-40 year olds beyond bars, food was uninspired, internet access was awful with many sites blocked, food was mediocre, and often times not hot. Overall a disappointing experience.

Layout was okay, albeit a bit crowded, cleanliness left A LOT to be desired.

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was the smallest interior I’ve had, no outlets near the bed, beds were uncomfortable, cleanliness was fine, bathroom was well appointed for a cruise ship.
