Review summary

We were really excited about our first cruise and couldn't wait to go, but we received info the week before we departed that the ship would only be operating on 50% power and therefore we would miss one of our our two ports of call. We were at sea for a total of four days with only one port of call, very disappointing. As far as the service goes, it was great! We had an excellent cabin steward who took great care of us. The dinning was great and we enjoyed the shows, just wish there were a few more since we were at sea so long. The ship was in need of some physical and cosmetic repairs which was disappointing as well. In my opinion the ship should have not made the trip since it was not able to sail at full speed. Too long on the ship for only one port of call.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

The only major issue we had was with the soft drinks, they were terrible. They tasted flat all week long and even after requesting new drinks they too were the same. Not sure what the issue was but they were terrible. Especially since we purchased a drink package.
