Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Would like a little bit more selection choices, but what was available was okay.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

One a few I got to see. Really don't have anything bad to say about this area.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

The only staff member I encountered who went "going above & beyond" was Ramona who worked in the Dining Room of the Normandie Restaurant.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5

The ship size was fine. The layout was okay except when you're on one side of the ship on certain levels it was confusing. It took me a while to get adjusted. I didn't like the painting decor of all those naked people. The cleaniness was above average for all those people on a ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The size was okay, but cleaniness and items not available in the room that was supposed to be in the room upon entering was not good at all. I didn't like that there was no clock available. I had to keep turning the TV on or when I was watching the TV turning to the station that gave the time, speed of the ship, etc.a real inconenience. If I didn't use that resource of the TV I had to keep getting my watch for the time - some of the time I didn't have it on. My room needed vacuuming; I could see the dust build up in the corners and along the baseboards. If I chose to go on another cruise I would not booked close to the children's activity room nor be close to theater.
