This cruise was horrible! The boat smelled moldy and you could see rust and mildew. The dining options were not good at all. We only ate in the main dining room for breakfast. The buffets were disgusting. The dinner in the main dining room was inedible.

Food and Dining

Disgusting the steak from the steakhouse selection was tough and not seasoned. Regular dinner menu was nasty. The buffet looked disgusting as well. The only saving grace was Guys Burgers

Bummer! Try Royal! I’ve never been disappointed. My favorite ship is Serenade.
