The food was horrible mentioned it to waiter and he had heard it before. The cabins not attended like in the past trash can emptied once a day. I cruise often and was very disappointed.

This was an old ship so didn't expect much. This ship needs to be retired.

Entertainment

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

The bunk was situated above the heard of the two lower beds. I bumped my heard when I raised up. Told Cabin Steward and he reported it. Why would you design a room for three this way. My sister had a room for three and the bunk was on opposite side

Ship tip

Don't expect much. This is an older ship and you can tell

Did you go to Guys Burgers or Blue Iguana? Did you miss all the upgrades and the clean cabins that are like new? This ship is and a,ways be our favorite. We went in April and had the best food ever. Our cabin steward asked us how often we wanted our cabin cleaned and she was amazing! Sorry you had a bad time, we had an awesome one!

Nice time with the family

It was a great experience and I had one if the best times in life. Everyone was very nice and the staff was awesome. Im a first time cruiser but not the last time. I recommend that everyone go on a cruise at least once in their life

Outstanding Staff
