Review summary

Nice ship but overall not a good experiance, there is something not cohesive about the staff, the food etc. I love cruising and have been on wonderful ships, this one did not click and run smoothly

Embarkation

Rude staff

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

I have never had such bad food. Everywhere but specialty dining it was bland, boring or just bad.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pools were good, not crowded on deck but to be in an adults only area you had to pay $$

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

The crew was miserable which I don't fault them with, there is a moral problem on this ship and that is too bad

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Very clean, nice ship

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

The cabin was nice although the refurb I don't think extended to the rooms, it was a little worn but over all it was nice and clean

Ports of call

Cartagena, Colombia

1 out of 5

This is a big NO! We took the carriage ride and were SWARMED by people trying to sell stuff to the point they jumped on the carriage and the excursion people ignored them. They would even touch you and try to get you to buy things, would not leave you alone. a nightmare
