Review summary

I liked the ship. It was big, it floated. It did not sink. I disliked being on board, captive, without any good food or entertainment. At this time I wondered if food in the Navy tasted this bad and wanted the whole event to over with. I almost decided to fly back home after visiting the last day in port. Also the memory of being trapped on the ship with little entertainment, bad food, deciding not to pay $24per hour for internet access, and disliking being tricked, $10 and $20 (forgetting the nickels and dimes) will probably get me to ever do this again. If you are already locked into going on one (which they do/ no refunds)... get some good books, research where you're going, make complaints while on board, and take as much food as you can with you.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Bring your own food. The worst was the cheesecake that was not cheesecake. I recommend bringing your own food or buying and eating food while in port.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Very little to do and see. 2 comedians performed on two nights. Enjoyed them differently. Broadway shows are horrible for cast members were not able to sing. Magic show was zzZZ.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Average, but the cook who prepared the deserts needs to go back to culinary school.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

I wrote good because it floated. Size, layout, condition of public areas were all ok.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

It was average because we paid for the average cabin.
