Review summary

Good for children and heavy drinkers. Very little space for the adults. Smoking allowed in the casino which permeates throughout the hallway.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
Long lines, inexperienced personnel, no logic to who goes first, lousy terminal, only one entryway to the ship.

Not much money invested in activities.

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Not comparable with other cruises. For example, they advertise a winning bingo game for$1000 however the winner had to choose between 10 envelopes to win it. The library was full of screaming children and was no larger than a small kitchen.

Service and Staff

Disembarkation

Had to be out of the cabin by 8:30 but couldn't disembark until 10:30. People were sitting on the floor. Seniors were very inconvenienced.
