Review summary

The boat was very clean and well maintained, however we were told they would be undergoing a coast guard inspection immediately after disembarking so a lot of areas were closed off throughout the cruise for maintenance. Swirls, which should be open 24/7 took the cones down after 5 so you really couldn’t eat ice cream all night because there weren’t any spoons available with the bowls. Loved the cruise director and the entertainment. Many activities overlapped with long lulls between the activities. Over all it was a fun time, I am just used to staying entertained and that wasn’t always the case this cruise, but I did get in lots of naps! Lol! I don’t recommend anytime dining, as the service was subpar. Many evenings the waiters/waitresses would not even bring what was ordered and acted inconvenienced at having to wait on us. The food however made up for it, it was fabulous!

There is hardly one hour that food is not available therefore you hardly missed out ... things happen yes it's inconvenient and annoying but hay that's life your on vacation make the most of it and move on it wouldn't be a deal breaker ... chill and enjoy no matter what ....

I too have experienced sub par service with anytime dinning staff. Some great and others indifferent. I heard they put the newer waiters on the anytime shift. That may not be true but it is human nature to provide better service if you will be seeing the people every night but not care so much if you know you will never see them again. And less risk of someone not tipping if they only had poor service on one night.

Your time dining has nothing to do with level of service, just gives you flexibility. If you like a particular waiting team you can always ask to be seated in their section and enjoy great service.

You cruise on a ship. You fish from a boat. If you were on a boat, it would explain some of your issues😉
