Review summary

I will not be cruising again because of nothing I was interested in doing on sea days , during days (very board) I might cruise again with a group with scheduled workshops on the ship???

Embarkation

5 out of 5

very speedy and efficient no problems

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

1.felt like main dining room was just serving cafeteria food 2.the Freiheit 555 steak restaurant was wonderful my steak was perfect only issue was the oven baked crinkle fries not worthy of restaurant. Hand cut fried potato wedges much better choice. 3. buffet was acceptable but tea was awful 4. no pleased with being assigned back of ship dining room when my cabin was in front of ship

Fahrenheit 555

5 out of 5

this was a wonderful steak house with friendly staff my steak was cooked perfect and the lobster bisque was divine , my only complaint was the oven baked crinkle fries these were the same cheap fries served on buffet line and seafood shack. They needed to be fried wedges. The bourbon bbq spice could not cover the blandness of the awful crinkle cut fries.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

1. daytime activities boring and limited during day (bingo, trivia, etc) 2. spent most of my time on deck just sitting or in my room when had too much of the winds

Entertainment

5 out of 5

pleased with stage shows and comedians

Children's Programs

no children

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our steward Ricky was the greatest so polite and sweet natured. Our main dining room waiter Lucido was awesome and remembered our names and seemed to care about are happiness. On sea day buffets I do not remember our waiter but his helper Jennifer was a doll made sure my husband's coffee was always full.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Cannot even imagine being bored on a ship. After having 5 cancelled cruises, I am so ready to be on a ship again in 13 days.

Only your second cruise and you were bored and say you’ll never cruise again because of sea days? The only planned activities you should ever be concerned about when cruising are your excursions off the ship. Seas are about relaxing, enjoying the fact that someone else is driving, have a drink, relax and enjoy the fresh air, meet new people. Make your own activities on sea day. Some people do not care for sea days, I understand, but it’s a vacation away from the normal everyday, find a bar or area where you can sit and enjoy the peace of mind knowing you are not having to deal with the day to day of a pandemic or any of the everyday world issues. I think that’s called vacation, simply put disconnect from your normal day to day life. Thank you for the review and sorry you found yourself bored on a 🛳.

Doesn't seem to me that you like cruising at all. You didn't say much good about anything. I may be wrong but I think the Main Dining Rooms on any ship are located pretty much in same area. The specialty restaurants are all over. Ship's are known for having a lot of walking involved getting to places.

Thanks for the review. Relaxing, reading a book, doing a crossword or doing nothing are the best activities on sea days. It seems many people have forgotten, or never knew, the joy of actually doing nothing.

Sorry you were not happy with the activities during your cruise. Cruise lines are doing the best they can because of restrictions. Thanks for sharing your experience.
