Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Many missteps in the MDR. I am gluten free (allergies) and was served wrong 3 different times, even after pre ordering the prior night with the head waiter! Also was served a cold steak and sides specially ordered as an up charge. They offered to go heat it up, which would have overcooked it. Cost was removed from our ticket. Disappointing. All the free lunch venues were extremely overcrowded and long lines. Buffet area minimal as if they were trying to force everyone to utilize other venues.

Cookie our cruise director was loads of fun. If you weren’t early enough (us) you didn’t get in to the showroom or piano bar. Comedy club was great. Casino ended up being my best friend!

Disembarkation

Yawn! It seems everyone decided to self disembark this cruise. We always do and are usually off within in 30 minutes. An hour and a half later! There are better systems other cruise lines have in place. To call by muster station, after calling many of the checked bag numbers is backwards.
