Review summary

The passengers and crew were very nice and respectful. Ship was too small for our liking. Need pool in adult section since because of kids can’t enjoy main pool. Food definitely was a let down. Worse food I’ve ever had on a cruise especially the buffet

Embarkation

5 out of 5

I hope you ate in more places than just the buffet. If not, try more eating options on your next cruise. Thanks for sharing your experience.

I’ve never found the buffet on any ship to be my first choice

You did sail during “spring break” so expect the pool to be crowded. If you only ate at the buffet that’s sad. Should give the dining room a chance!!
