Review summary

Embarkation

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Dining room service was slow. Had the late time dining. Did not get out until 9:30. Not much at the buffet like other cruises. Guy burger and baked chicken lines took from a half hour to an hour to get your food. Pizza was excellent and so were the sandwiches. Hibachi dinner was excellent

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Pool, fitness center was crowded. Went to go on the roller coaster bolt and was told I could not go on because I did not have shorts on. I did have my bathing suit with a cover-up on and sneakers.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The shows were OK. Since we had the late dinner by the time we got to the show there were no seats available. DJs were excellent.

Children's Programs

Did not have children with us

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Our waiters and waitress were excellent in the dining hall. Our Rd., Stewart was excellent as well. The bartenders were nasty and took forever to get your drinks.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

I wish the pizza, burger and deli were on the same floor as the buffet

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I was very clean and her Stewart did a great job cleaning
