Review summary

It was ok. There were a lot of people, lots of lines, and it wasn’t the cleanest ship.

Embarkation

2 out of 5
We were all packed in like sardines with no where to go. The buffet was open, but it was so crowded there was no place to sit, it was very anxiety provoking.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The buffet was ALWAYS so busy and crowded! There were always long and I mean long lines to wait in to get food. We barely even ate ate the buffet because it just wasn’t worth the effort! We are dinner in the dining room every night.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5
We had the beds pushed together, but they wouldn’t stay together. We decided to separate them when a child fell through to the floor when it came apart again! Then when I l went to fix the sheets I noticed the mattress protector was stained and ripped to shreds! It was gross. I took pictures they they don’t want to upload.

Ship tip

Embark early and find a place to sit. It’s super crazy and not fun!

Thanks for sharing. So sorry to hear of the child falling between the beds, that’s scary.

Thanks for the review. Are the long buffets lines due to people can't serve themselves now? I heard that somewhere.
