Review summary

Embarkation

3 out of 5

The ship was nice. The cruise director Schwartz is unbelievably multitalented and keeps that ship going! I’ve never seen someone so entergetic and entertaining, he was born for that job! The price to get one printed photo and download it to your device is $22 and up per picture! Our room service was good, nice linens including a nice down comforter. Bed was very hard. Cabin was clean. Good entertainment, very funny comedians and they have a show called Flick that is worth seeing. Foul odor in many areas of the ship as you move through the floors. I wish they had played music through the lido deck and other areas to give more of an upbeat feel, to at least feel like we were on vacation. I wanted to have a drink and enjoy the atmosphere but the atmosphere in most areas was just quiet and dull. A big disappointment was the food experience.

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The formal dining rooms were not very formal and now if you want the good steak or lobster etc. it is not included anymore! You have to PAY an EXTRA $20 per person each night you want it. The buffet is definitely not what it use to be, only small areas of it are open at certain times with minimal choices and not very tasty. Forget having a delicious dessert bar, nothing there either😔. The all you want room service (I look forward to this part) was no longer anything to get excited over, it consists of 3 sandwiches, potato chips or pretzels and choc cake or cookies, BUT you can have the good stuff if you, again, PAY EXTRA. There are some nice dining choices aside from the buffet, Guys burgers are still as good as ever! As well as the little Mexican spot. They have a nice sushi spot, Italian restaurant and dessert vendor but again if you want them you must PAY EXTRA. The steakhouse, Farenheight 555, (which you do pay extra for) is delicious! The stuffed mushrooms are a must! The steak, lobster, everything was very good. The cost per person is $35 and it is worth it.
