Review summary

Very relaxing cruise. The food was okay and the entertainment was almost non-existant. Frankie the cruise director was pretty good. The staff was great and they have lots of humor. The ship could use some upgrades as we saw rust quite a bit. Also, thus was the first cruise I had been on where they didn't clean the balcony.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Embarkation was a little disorganized. It kinda felt like we were cattle being herded on a ranch.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food was just okay

Mongolian Wok

5 out of 5

It was complimentary during lunch hours. It was very tasty but the wait in line was pretty long.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
We only got to see one production show called Flick and love and marriage show. They offer many more shows on the XL class ships

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Much to be desired

4 out of 5
Cabin was spacious and pretty clean

Ship tip

Use the forward or after elevators as they are not as busy as the mid ship elevators
