Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

My finace and I were sick the majority of the cruise from the food. The food was processed, not fresh, cafeteria style food that was never at appropriate temperature. Very few vegetarian/vegan options. The salad bar was tiny and pitiful.

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5

We were disappointed that we still had to pay for many of the on board activities despite paying approx $1200 for our cruise. Two of the three hot tubs we tried only had 1 working jet and the water was barely warm. Kids were often in the adult-only pool areas, and many drunken rowdy adults were flashing with their suits off, so the pool areas definitely should have been supervised by staff. Also, a lot of the activities we were interested in were late at night and not offered during the day, so it was too late for us.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

We loved the violin trio and acoustic guitar player and watched several of their performances. Other singers were so bad that we would get up from our gathering area when they started singing, which was disappointing. We didn't get to see the comedians because their shows were so late at night.

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

We loved our housekeeper (she brought us an extension cord since there were no plug ins near the bed) and a few of the bartenders. We had poor customer service at the customer service desk and in the dining room
