Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5
Main dining food was horrible and presentation was like a school cafeteria. When a couple at my dinner tables states she cannot wait to cook food when she gets home...something is wrong!

Onboard Activities

2 out of 5
Not enough activities

Entertainment

2 out of 5
Ships performers were awful! Musicans around ship were wonderful! Only one comedian was good.

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Ship personnel worked their butts off but have too many people to dedicate great service.
