Review summary

Wouldn't do it in November or any other winter months. I saw soooo many seniors on board but there were no activities planned or available for the more mature passengers...which is not very nice.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Servers were for the most part kind and attentive but menu items were very guarded...entrees were marked for certain nights of dining ... i.e. where choices that were available on 1st night of dining were not available on any of the following nights of dining and there was not enough selections for "non gourmet" entrees or as one would call "simply cooked" options. Flavor was poor in dinner entrees and even more so in desserts(mostly tasted "fake"). Very small(children sized) portions served. This caused embarrassment when asked for more of a menu item...servers never let you know that you could order more that one main entrée or more of your original ordered entree...we only learned of that because we overheard the guests who sat next to us.

Service and Staff

Room Steward not too efficient. We only requested 1 day (out of 4)of room refreshing and she omitted several replenisings... She was also somewhat rude and short tempered.

Very cold....which made just sitting around and getting dressed quite uncomfortable. Size was ok. They could stand to mount a larger tv on the wall...hard to view & read items on tv.

Ship tip

Be prepared for a lot of walking. Bring plenty warm clothing... don't waste money for internet...it's very slow..just wait til you get home for access!!

Fun Mexico trip
OK for the price, but for us, we'd like a little better. We've cruised 3 other lines and would pick any of those first.
