Review summary

Cruise was ok to just get away. The ship is small and old so if you are looking for a great experience, check out a different ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The anytime dining experience was awful to begin with. I think we went through 4 waitstaff teams. Problems ranged from taking 20 minutes to get water, to having to ask for missing items like silverware, butter. At one point we were served food that had obviously sat under a heat lamp for a really long time. With that being said on the 4 day I believe, we found April and her staff from the Philippines. They were amazing, energetic and thoughtful. They saved the dining experience.
