enjoyed the cruise, but I find the dining room staff to be way over worked, no clue if they cut the staff or what but there is no time for the fun few minutes we used to have talking to them, to be honest I found the food poor , but love cruising :)

Review summary

It was stark, the cabin had nothing pretty in it, just a empty room not even a pen??? jeezus surely you can fork out for a pen , clean enough, the staff are amazing as usual, but way overworked , dinner always felt like a over booked restaurant just hoping you would gulp your food down and get out for the next passenger to be honest

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

decent enough but not up to par with newer ships, which maybe as expected

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

beds are poor mattress wise, the older ships do need some decent matteresses, and good god you cant afford to put a pen in the cabin??? or something nice in a cabin? it was so stark and empty, to me it read like a cruiseline that ran out of money
