Review summary

Disappointing. After cruising on this ship I am uncertain as to whether I will ever cruise again.. The entertainment and the dining experience are supposed to be two of the highlights of cruising,,Both were way below expectations on this cruise.

The dining staff and service staff were commendable but one gets the feeling that as hard as they work, the company is expecting them to do more with less.

According to ship policy if pool chairs are left unattended for more than 4o minutes towels will be removed..this certainly is not enforced and people have a sense of entitlement because they know they can get away with tagging a chair at 6a.m. and then going about their business and leaving THEIR "toweled chaIr"

empty and other people wandering around with no place to sit...Why have a policy if not enforced?????

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

the food in the main dining room, with the exception of one evening, was sub par and was always served cold (The Renoir) Breakfast in the Monet Dining Room was consistently good.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

while the comedians were good the variety show sounded very much like screeching and howling.. The best entertainment was the cruise director in the lounge each evening. Kudos to Josh on his personality and ability to connect with people.
