Review summary

Port of calls were excellent. Ship was not what I experienced with other cruise lines. Relaxing on upper deck no one comes around asking if you wanted drinks. Getting your soft drinks from the bar took too much time for just a soda also paying for soft drinks is an obsolete model. Most other cruise line include that. The food was ok, but not as good of a selection as other cruise lines. Main dining seat cushions were stained bad and gave you the feeling of being dirty. Then ship railing in the +21 area was held together by tape, overall ship maintenance was not up to my expectation.

Waiters were slow to get all our food to the table at same time. Drink refills were very slow, couple nights never got a refill. Toward the end of cruise, they quite putting bread on table like they were running out. Only got bread on request.
