Review summary

Would never choose this cruise again and would recommend others to avoid.

Embarkation

2 out of 5

Boarding the ship was fine but waiting on deck with so many others for our room to be ready was a hassle

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

Buffet food was cold any time we tried to go there. Dining room took way too long to talk to a server, let alone get your food.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

The few items we were interested in, like the basketball court, were occupied the entire time by mostly the same people. Short hours activities could be used only made it worse

Children's Programs

2 out of 5

On the very top all kids that came out were sea sick, bad location

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

People were not friendly but not rude. Took too long to get anything

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

Most places look old and worn down

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The cabin was the best part of our trip, getting away from the horror of everywhere else. Bathroom smelled.

Ship tip

Would not ever choose again

Thumbs up

Ports of call

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

Fast and easy to do yourself. Don’t wait for them to take care of your bags if you don’t have to
