Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

Main dining room was great but that buffet was horrible! The buffet lacked options for breakfast; lunch & dinner. Meat selections was heavy on pork which is not appetizing to non-pork eaters. Buffet food was cold at times. Also, no free late night food options except for pizza & "pay" room service.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Not too many on deck activities was happening especially on the LIDO deck at night.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Only enjoyed one comedy show. Otherwise, entertainment was scarce

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Cabin was good but upon the fourth day; a foul odor started to radiate from the bathroom. Smelled like old sewerage was backing up. The cabin stewart sent maintenance to our room to check. The smell wasn't as strong as it first was.
