Review summary

A cruise anywhere is always fun but I would not do this exact same one again. The food was not the best and the staff not the friendliest.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

On day one I tired to change my dinning time with the rest of the large party I was traveling with. The Matradee was not very friendly and would not change it for me. Because of this I only ate in the formal dinning room once for dinner and twice for breakfast/brunch. Only one of the buffets were open during dinner time. Food was below of what I expected.

Cloud 9 Spa

I though I had read before the cruise that there was a day pass you could purchase for the Thermal pool for $40.00. We went to take a tour of the spa that was scheduled on the HUB. When I got there they had no idea about the one day pass and was trying to sell me a pass for the entire week. They had a handful of people there wanting a tour but they claimed that there was no tour scheduled even when we showed them it scheduled on the HUB .... Never went back to the spa after that.
