Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
food was good! dinning room severs weren't as together as I normally have, Even though usually first in dinning room we were always last to be served. And I never got any better then warm food. Lido deck always crowed and short staffed. The Burger and Taco place was the only shining star!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
were there activities? the only travel day was too crowded to swim or go to hot tubs.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
couldn't make it to shows since we went to excursions and then late dinning lasted too long and didn't make it to the shows except comedians. 1st two (Sun - Tues) were great the Last two were ok, but weren't as funny as they thought they were.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
room steward Wonderful! Everyone else seemed overwhelmed and tired.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Very old ship even though I had just gone through a update. Only one plug in the room and no usb plugs for cell phones. Hub chat only worked in open areas not dinning room nor bed rooms.

Cabin / Stateroom
