Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

The food was overall not appetizing for non vegans and for vegans limited options. Staff was also not privy to veganism. For non vegans that I travelled with the best meals were the surf and turf, lobster rolls and sushi all requiring an extra charge. They also enjoyed guys burger but the line was usually long and became tired of burger for lunch. Dining staff/wait staff were great! They do their best

My daughter enjoyed club O2. She made friends - would prefer some more activities but overall ok.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Wait staff were great. Not much interaction with room steward.

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

My room had left over chicken and rice from the previous guest in the refrigerator, bathroom was not clean, and acrylic nail in bed, broken tv. The staff responded promptly and provided strawberries and champagne- but to have all the above occur on the first day was not good.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Size was ok. Cleanliness on first day not good -see above.
