Review summary

Overall cruise was ok. However I believe that I'm paying more for less. Since the elimination of the midnight buffets (all lines), if one is up late at night DECENT

food is not available, and now there is a charge for room service. While it is not much, it was free before. Pizza/and junk food is not what I want at 2:00AM and the ships phone still advertises re: midnight buffet. I would like something nice/palatable and healthy at 2:00AM

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Poor selection for dessert; also snacks for kids; if you want "good" cookies " you had to Pay for them. Only hard, boxed cookies available. Even in the dining rooms food was not as palatable as in the "specialty" restaurants"

Entertainment

Not as well done as in past years. Comedy show was bland, dancing a bit better

Children's Programs

Not enough variety for teens

All there is available is sandwiches and a salad. everything else is a charge. On the ship now... Definition of cabin fever. P.s. Don't break your foot on the pool deck or you're stuck with sandwiches the ENTIRE time

Well there is a healthy option at 2am- the salad- which is free! Lol. My husband and I ordered a BLT, Ruben, coleslaw, potato salad, Caesar salad, chocolate cake and a cheesecake on August 7th from room service. It was all free and delicious 😍

Ummm, not sure how long it's since you've been on a cruise ship; but everything I've read is that they've all been gone almost 10 years now.

Really, who is looking for healthy food at 2AM anyway. Sounds odd to me.

I think they add a service charge for late night room service now, even if it is the free items.

There's still free room service but they did add some things for extra money.
