Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

We paid extra for the ultimate dining package $372 I think. Well they had 3 specialty restaurant s chips was excellent great waiter. The other 2 well horrible one restaurant we had to cook our on food on some kind of rock and wasn’t informed about it at all. There soup was was nasty my wife took 4 bites out of whole dinner. That was supposed to be Japanese but was aisian. The other was Italians wife said it was ok I took 4 bites of my food. Don’t exspect any sea food either. That will cost extra above what you already paid. Then we ordered room service and I ordered this nice sounding hamburger. Took one bite and the meat was spoiled bad I almost threw up. The main ship buffet was ok

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Room 3602 omg. Paid extra for a ocean view. Don’t remember how much extra but the bed was good size but the last night I slept on the floor. The mattress was horrible my back started hurting after the first nite. The shower I’m 5’6” tall 198 lbs I couldn’t turn around in the shower much less even thinking about bending over to scrub my feet. Over all room was not worth extra money way to small

Ship tip
