Small unsanitary main pools ...adults and children in same pool water...yuk!

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Couldn't get a good seat no matter what time we got to the center stage. Enjoyed the comedy shows.

Children's Programs

We didn't have kids with us

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Waiters in main dining area used to offer more rolls,...and seldom checked back. Our room steward was ok, sporadic on towels and ice bucket refill. Our safe didn't lock, fixed once, then didn't work 2 days later. Found out our room phone didn't work when we needed to report our safe not working.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

Poor design of center stage. Overhang over much of sitting area and limited front center seating.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Size of room and closet space very good for 2 adults. Balcony was clean and adequate. Comfortable bedding. Adequate shelving in room and bathroom.

Ship tip

Designate a pool for children only for sanitary reasons. Rearrange center stage for better viewing. Get variety of buffet breakfast. Put out condiments when serving seafood. Do something about the fried seafood in the seafood shack..
