Review summary

We had some rough seas so husband was seasick. Food was okay. Service was good. We got bored though. Couldn't find enough to do. Ended up spending a lot of time in our cabin which was okay as we got some good sleep. Shows were disappointing. Can't control the weather -- we had cool cloudy so we didn't even get to go in pools or go down water slide. No ones fault of course, just left us with nothing to do part of the time.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Dinner selections were disappointing. I had a steak one night and prime rib the next, both were not very good. The last 2 nights I paid the extra $20 to upgrade to Surf & Turf. That was excellent the first night and just okay the 2nd night. The 24 hour pizza was terrible! The sauce and cheese and crust were all yuck! Desserts overall were very good.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

Not much to do. Too cold for swimming. No ping pong balls for Ping Pong. Shuffle Board the floor was sticky so couldn't get the disks to slide. 80's Traiva one day was fine.

Entertainment

2 out of 5

Holiday show was not good. Very rough. The dancers and singers are good, they just aren't given very good material to work with. Boring. The Motor City Show was barely okay. Need more excitement or something. Comedians were okay but adult shows started so late we couldn't stay awake long enough.
