Disappointing, and with better maintained, newer ships, I will be cancelling my future reserved cruises on this ship.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Quick and easy
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
2 out of 5
Very disappointing food selection in the buffet, compared to newer ships. Food in the MDR average, mostly uninspiring and I HATE the long lines waiting to be seated. If I have MyTime dining, why do I need to reserve a time in advance and then wait in a long line?
Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
My main interest is the casino. I've cruised 66 times, and this casino was by far the worst ever. Most seats are stools with worn, cracked covers and no backs, placed so close together back to back that there is absolutely no room to walk and people spilled drinks on each other as they attempted to move among machines.
Entertainment
No energy to fight crowds after battles in the casino, so I stayed on my balcony with a drink and read.
Children's Programs
No kids
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
As usual, staff was uniformly wonderful.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
Areas were clean; ship is showing its age.
Cabin / Stateroom
3 out of 5
Basic cabin with only one outlet. Back of the sofa cushions is ripped. Balcony rail is bare wood, and the floor has large areas of deep rust. Temperature never varied, no matter how I tried to adjust it. Stayed very cold.
Ship tip
If you enjoy your dining experience and playing in the casino, don't go on this ship. I went on Utopia with friends the preceding week, expecting to hate it because of so many people and hoardes of unruly kids, but in fact, I avoided crowded areas, especially pools, and I'll definitely go again. I wish that ship did some week long sailings.
