Review summary

Will think hard before I take another cruise. Very disappointed.

Embarkation

3 out of 5

Quick and easy

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The servers in the main dining room were AMAZING. The specialty restaurants were TOO expensive.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Basically Zumba classes and lying by the pools. There was basically NO activity to participate in every day. Very minimal at best!!

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Elvis impersonator and Keith at the piano bar were the only entertainment worth watching.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

This was the best part of the whole cruise. Specifically servers Ricky, Yunfei, head waiter Amit and our room steward Ashmad.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Room steward was great at meeting our needs.

Ship tip

Don’t do it. They do not care about the passengers at all. It is a floating shopping mall. Always getting accosted to purchase something!!!

I don't think cruising is for you. The majority of negatives you mentioned, were up to you, not the cruise line or ship.

Seems many need to be held by the hand to do something. Did you read the daily program which lists things to do every hour? Did you go ashore and visit new places? Did you read or relax? Thousands and thousands around the world cant all be wrong about going on a cruise.

We were on same cruise. I agree with you about activities. They have reduced many to sales pitches for spa, even selling bed mattresses and sheets now?? Entertainment I thought MOTOWN group and Charles Peachock were good. And i could have listened to Keith piano guy all week! Service was exceptional though. Disembark was terrible, but more a problem.with Customs than with cruise line.

I'm a little confused, if overall you liked the Food and Dining, why did they only get 1 star? I do agree with the overpricing of the specialty restaurants.
