Review summary

SHIP ACCOMODATES 3000 PASSENGERS AND CANNOT SERVICE THIS MANY PASSENGERS ADEQUATELY. TOO MUCH STANDING IN LONG LINES WAITING TO EAT. HAVE TO CLEAN YOUR OWN TABLE TO EAT AND THEN LOOK FOR CREW PERSON WHEN FINISHED TO PLEASE TAKE YOUR TRAY. QUALITY OF SERVICE HAS CERTAINLY HIT ROCK BOTTOM IN THIS AREA. SMALL CARNIVAL SHIP ARE SO MUCH BETTER AND HAS MUCH BETTER QUALITY OF SERVICE. BIGGER IS NOT ALWAYS BETTER IN THIS SHIPS CASE. SAW A LOT OF PASSENGERS UNHAPPY ABOUT BEING ABLE TO GET SERVICE.

Service and Staff

BETTER GET USE TO WAITING ON YOURSELF ON THIS SHIP. OCCASSIONALLY A WAITER WILL COME BY AND TAKE A BAR ORDER FOR YOU. TOO MANY TIMES YOU HAVE TO GO TO BAR AND GET IT YOURSELF. EITHER WAY THEY'RE ADD THAT GRATUITY TO YOUR BILL

Ship Quality

1 out of 5
I CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND IT WHEN I SEE WIDESPREAD SICKNESS ON A SHIP OF THIS SIZE. NOT ENOUGE CLEANING CREW TO KEEP THIS SHIP CLEAN.
