Review summary

Overall the cruise was good, the beds were not comfortable at all. The food was just ok. The boat needs a good cleaning in some areas of the boat (behind the bars in the casino) was pretty bad. But good overall.

It was just ok, the beds in the room were not comfortable, the only thing that made it bearable were the great pillows, thanks for that.

Ship tip

maybe keep some mattress toppers on hand, just in case someone complains about beds, which i did not. Pillows really made the difference for me. Bring back the little freebies, I really enjoyed them, now you don't get anything, its like you are not appreciated. That is an unspoken "thank you" too me

It sounds like you had a good cruise except for the uncomfortable mattress and the food.  Why did you not mention the uncomfortable mattress to the steward?  Most ships carry the toppers.  Why suffer for seven days.  You paid a lot for the cruise.  I'm sure that the steward would have wanted you to be comfortable since that is his job.  

I would have also mentioned to the bartenders about the condition behind the bar, too.
