Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The food was bad. Need better cooks. Lost weight on a cruise go figure. Dining rooms not better.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Everything is so outdated.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Stage shows on 2. Was very lacking. Comedian was not good. Not funny at all. He should of paid us to watch his show.

Service and Staff

1 out of 5

Waiters got food orders incorrectly or they just forgot about you. Had to request menus. Didn't remember drink orders.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

So outdated. Things you can tell we're showing wear and warn out. No photos on the stairs walls. No personality.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

No problem on this one. Gade the cabin steward was OK. Did his job but nothing special.

Ship tip

Avoid this ship. Waste of money and your vacation.

Actually, I do lose weight on cruises. Not from poor quality but from there being healthy selections and time from hectic daily living to relax and enjoy meals. Actually eat a lot more on cruises. And just walking around more. Hopefully your next vacation of choice is better.

Appreciate your feedback. Sorry this cruise on the smallest and oldest ship in the fleet, was so disappointing.

If your room steward did his job, it means your room was clean and you had nothing to complain about. Seems good enough for me.
