Review summary

For this to be a newer ship it lacks a lot. For some it may work however, this was not to my liking.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

The process was fast however, I did not like the K9 dog checking everyone bags.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The main dining room buffet was not up to expectations. I did not eat dinner in the main room instead used other restaurant options. Breakfast was ok was not top notch. Lunch really suck. Use other options to eat. I was DISAPPOINTED! This is a ship about 2.5 years old and to me the Vista is better.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Room 15204 front of the ship. I did not like the balcony there is no view if you sit down on the balcony. There should have been a clear window to look out to the sea, instead it was a big metal plate blocking your view. To look out when you're on the balcony you'll have to stand up.

Ship tip

Do not book a room in the front of the ship, 15204,15202,15205,15206

Fully agree on your assessment of the ship. I happily went back to the Vists/Horizon.

Appreciate your feedback. The dogs seem to be a new addition to several cruises. It cuts back on the illegal stuff. Sorry this cruise didn’t meet your expectations.
